Overview

• The Ferrari driver slowed dramatically in the closing laps after a left-front brake problem became visible on broadcast and in-car footage.
• Having been waved past Charles Leclerc to chase Andrea Kimi Antonelli, he then ran wide and cut corners several times while nursing the car.
• Stewards logged four track-limits strikes in quick succession on the final lap, converting his on-track seventh into eighth and promoting Fernando Alonso to seventh.
• Hamilton told officials he left the circuit to manage the brakes, and neither he nor Ferrari challenged the verdict.
• Alonso, who finished 0.4s behind on the road, denounced the situation over team radio and questioned the safety of allowing a car to continue with failing brakes.
