Hamilton took advantage of Sebastian Vettel's driving mistake. As the rain caused great confusion towards the end of the race, the German rode in the 52nd of the 67 laps of his home race with the Ferrari in the gravel and retired in the lead. With this, the world champion Hamilton took the lead after eleven of the 21 races of the season with 17 points ahead of Vettel

Valtteri Bottas took second place after the race in mid-May in Spain for the second win of the year. Third was Vettel Kimi Raikkonen's teammate

For the seventh time this season, there were also points for Alfa Romeo Sauber-Ferrari. Sweden's Marcus Ericsson finished ninth. For Charles Leclerc, who started in ninth place, only the 15th looked. The Monegasse played poker early in the rain, he let himself take intermediate tires, which he had to trade against slicks three laps later.
