Verstappen finishes second to take championship lead; tyre stop costs Hamilton
Valtteri Bottas ended his year-long drought with a dominant victory in Turkey on Sunday while an unhappy Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton finished fifth and lost the Formula One championship lead to Red Bull’s Max Verstappen.
Verstappen, 24, was runner-up and 14.584 seconds behind the Finn at a wet Istanbul Park to overturn a two-point deficit to Hamilton and drive away six points clear with six races remaining.
Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez finished third with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc fourth and ahead of seven-times World champion Hamilton, who had started 11th due to an engine penalty.
