A poor qualifying display and engine penalty meant Verstappen started Sunday’s round with only three cars behind him.
But Verstappen assumed the lead of the race on lap 43 of 69 and never looked back in the treacherous conditions to claim a remarkable win that edges him ever closer to a fourth consecutive title.
Verstappen becomes the first driver since Kimi Raikkonen 19 years ago to win a race from as far back on the grid, taking the chequered flag an extraordinary 19.4 seconds clear of Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, who were a surprise second and third for Alpine. George Russell was fourth, one spot ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc.
