He held off a late attack by Bottas to stay second by fractions of a second.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It wasn\u2019t how I wanted it, of course, but the mechanics did an amazing job to fix the car so to pay them back with second place is great,\u201d said Verstappen.<\/p>\n<p>Bottas came home a frustrated third, just metres behind, but ahead of Lance Stroll\u2019s Racing Point, Alex Albon in the second Red Bull and four-time champion Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was a pretty bad race, to be honest,\u201d said Bottas. \u201cI lost it at the start. I reacted to a light on my dash that went off \u2013 instead of the start lights so I had to do the start again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sergio Perez was seventh in the second \u2018pink Mercedes\u2019 Racing Point ahead of Daniel Ricciardo of Renault, Kevin Magnussen of Haas and Carlos Sainz of McLaren.<\/p>\n<p>After an intense burst of pre-race drama, in which Verstappen crashed on his final lap to join the grid and a seemingly rushed \u2018end racism\u2019 gesture by many of the drivers, Hamilton was coolness personified.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_250824\" style=\"width: 778px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-250824\" class=\"size-full wp-image-250824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2020\/07\/34b99ae610907f147f867407132646dce470e2ac.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2020\/07\/34b99ae610907f147f867407132646dce470e2ac.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.capitalfm.co.ke\/sports\/files\/2020\/07\/34b99ae610907f147f867407132646dce470e2ac-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-250824\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Verstappen shrugged off crash to take second \u00a9 <b>POOL\/AFP \/ Mark Thompson<\/b><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Starting from the 90th pole of his career, he pulled clear to lead by three seconds on the opening lap, ahead of Stroll and Verstappen, all of them running on intermediate tyres in the tricky conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Bottas jumped the start and was then bogged down and fell to sixth.<\/p>\n<p>The champion pitted for slicks at the end of the second lap returning in fourth and was back on top by lap five with the two Haas cars of Magnussen and Grosjean in pursuit after a well-judged switch from wets to slicks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Stick or twist? &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After a fine start lifted him to fourth, Vettel followed Hamilton into the pits, but a tentative release by Ferrari cost him at least five seconds and dropped him to ninth.<\/p>\n<p>By lap 20, Hamilton led Verstappen by 11 seconds and Stroll by 27 with Bottas fourth ahead of the two Haas men and Albon.<\/p>\n<p>Bottas pitted on lap 34 shortly before Hamilton, 19 seconds clear of Verstappen, reported the first drops of anticipated rain.
