The Hitech Grand Prix driver did at least brush off a late lunge from Ferrari junior Mick Schumacher, who ended up taking the final podium place.
Callum Ilott stretched his championship-leading margin by one point, as the Ferrari protege clung on to eighth place, despite his heavily degraded Pirellis. His main rival, Robert Shwartzman, wasn’t so lucky, finishing out of the points, in 13th.
