Pre-Race Report
Previous race
At Barcelona, Verstappen overtook Hamilton at the first turn on lap 1. Hamilton regained the lead after Verstappen pitted on lap 23, but Verstappen reclaimed it on lap 28. A slow stop and the decision to stay out until lap 59 left Hamilton ahead at the flag; Verstappen was second, Bottas third. Tsunoda pulled over at the reprofiled turn 10 on lap 6 — his first Formula One retirement.
Milestones
This is the 750th race start for Williams. To mark the occasion, the team places the names of 100 Williams supporters on the halo of their car, the FW43B. McLaren runs a special one-off Gulf Racing–inspired livery for the race weekend, celebrating their collaboration with Gulf that began in the 1960s.
