Although Verstappen stole the point for fastest lap from Hamilton on the last lap of the race, Hamilton’s lead is close to three clear race victories with only six races remaining.
As his tyre disintegrated, sparks flew from the floor of his car as it careered across the track but he wrestled it across the line five seconds clear of Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
By lap 12, he was lapping faster and reeling off fastest laps, opening a gap of 1.7, which he increased to four seconds by lap 15 while Bottas, third, closed to within two seconds of Verstappen.
Bottas is catching Verstappen at a vast rate, cutting the cap from 5.6s to 3.3s in the space of a few laps.
But his Red Bull crew rectified the problem and Verstappen required just one flying lap to haul his car into the final phase of qualifying before slotting into his customary position behind the Mercedes drivers, albeit half-a-second down.
