Norris needed to finish ahead of Verstappen to keep the championship fight alive with two races remaining but it wasn’t to be.

Verstappen didn’t push too hard in the closing stages of the race, knowing all he needed to do was hold out his rival as the Ferrari duo of Carlos Sainz and Charles Leclerc overtook him in the final laps.

Russell held off teammate Lewis Hamilton who delivered a stunning drive to finish second after starting from 10th on the grid.
