Overview

• Ferrari instructed Hamilton to yield to Leclerc on the final lap after an earlier position swap intended to let Hamilton chase the group ahead.
• Leclerc was told a re-swap would occur on the main straight if Hamilton failed to overtake another car.
• Hamilton lifted near the finish but still crossed the line 0.464 seconds in front, taking eighth place with Leclerc ninth.
• Ferrari apologized to Leclerc over the radio, and he downplayed the dispute as being over eighth place while labeling it unfair.
• The outcome has little championship impact as Leclerc remains comfortably ahead of Hamilton in points this season.
