“Something wasn’t right this weekend and Nico shared the same feelings too.”

Renault will be hoping they can get on top of their issues in time for the British Grand Prix next weekend. The team are locked in a tight battle with McLaren for fourth place in the Constructor’s championship.

McLaren have also improved at an impressive rate in recent weeks and now find themselves fighting at the front of the midfield.

Lando Norris briefly held third on the first lap, passing Hamilton at turn one, before eventually finishing sixth. Carlos Sainz Jr also had a great recovery driver finishing eighth after starting 15th.

The result means McLaren currently hold a 20 point lead over Renault.
