Verstappen started very quickly. He chose the outside line while Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz fought each other and surpassed Hamilton to fourth place in Turn 1, while his teammate Ricardo attacked from the inside and also successfully surpassed Hamilton. Two Red Bull drivers met in Turn 2, and Verstappen braked and hit the Ricardo side box overnight, causing the latter to drop multiple positions in a row. From the replay, Verstappen's route is slightly larger, deviating from the center of the curve, and not leaving enough space for his teammates.
