He finished fourth, but was leading the race until a late safety car bunched up the pack before a final sprint to the finish. There appeared to be time to call the Monegasque in for new tyres before he passed the entrance to the pit lane, but the team decided against it.

The Chinese driver was involved in one of the most spectacular shunts in recent F1 history at Silverstone.
