Capitalised on Vettel not having a tow and the second-run Q3 shenanigans to get onto the front row, and didn't let Leclerc have a moment's peace until he missed the chicane and dropped to third. Twice he came close to a pass for first, only to be met with Leclerc's ruthless defence. A late pitstop for softs yielded a point for fastest lap.
VERDICT: While it ended with an error on shot rubber, Hamilton's exhilarating 41-lap chase of Leclerc was brilliantly relentless and came close to earning him the lead.
