The track was very wet at the start so the race began behind the
safety car until the start of Lap 8.
Lewis Hamilton built up an early lead.
Marcus Ericsson crashed on lap 13 on the pit straight bringing the safety car back out again. The race restarted again six laps later only for
Kimi Räikkönen to crash on the pit straight immediately, spinning across the track before hitting the wall. The race was
red flagged and there was a 35-minute delay before restarting again behind the safety car, however seven laps later it was again red flagged as the conditions were deemed still too dangerous. After another 25-minute delay, the race started again behind the safety car, which finally pulled in after another three laps. Late on in the race,
Felipe Massa crashed near the pit entry, bringing the safety car out again. While walking back to the garage, Massa received applause from several teams and was visibly emotional, as it was expected to be his last Grand Prix in his home country. The race restarted again and Hamilton went on to win the race from Championship leader
Nico Rosberg and
Max Verstappen.
