Hermanos Rodríguez

The very long run down to Turn 1 — a heavy braking zone that reliably produces the best overtaking opportunity on the lap.

A technical middle sector with the Esses and Turns 7-8 — medium-speed corners where aerodynamic grip shows.

Max Verstappen crashed past Vettel at Turn 1 and ran away with the race; Hamilton recovered from a first-lap puncture to ninth — enough to clinch his fourth world title in the same race.

Bottas had a long pole-position run from third on the grid. Verstappen went around the outside of both Mercedes through the long Turn 1 sweeper and led all the way home.

Carlos Sainz held off Lando Norris in a tense one-stop fight while Verstappen received two 10-second penalties for over-aggressive defence — a swing in the title race against the Dutchman.
