With 68 points, the Brit now has a six-point lead over the Finn. Vettel is already 31 points behind Hamilton. Ferrari again without a chance Third place went to Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, who made it onto the podium for the first time this season. It was once again a wasted day for Ferrari, Vettel's teammate Charles Leclerc complained about gearbox problems in the final phase and couldn't get past fifth place. At the team's behest, the aspiring 21-year-old had to let Vettel overtake him early against his will. Once again there was little to be gained for Ferrari (with Sebastian Vettel at the front, Charles Leclerc behind). © APA/afp / WANG ZHAO
