Hamilton beats Vettel on the start. Vettel didn't start from the marked position. Should be interesting to see what the ruling on that is. All but one car started on intermediate tires. An early crash causes a virtual safety car and Vettel and others pit for slicks. A crash on the front straight a short time later allowed Hamilton to pit from the lead and beat Vettel out of the pits. Bottas spun under safety car laps and dropped to 10th.
When they went back to green Hamilton pulled away. Verstappen passed Ricciardo but couldn't keep up with Hamilton. Vettel was stuck in 5th unable to get by Raikonnen. It will be interesting to see if they can run these tires to the end of the race.
