After cutting a corner and nudging Lewis Hamilton off track, Verstappen was ahead of Kimi Antonelli.

Race control didn’t order the handover, so Red Bull made the call themselves under pressure — ultimately securing second place as the best possible outcome. Even with Hamilton’s retirement, Mekies stood by the decision, calling it a split-second tactical play to avoid bigger trouble.
