Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen collided on the first lap fighting for the lead at Copse Corner. Max Verstappen then hit the track barrier, while Lewis Hamilton sustained damage to the wheel rim. The race was then interrupted for 20 minutes and Lewis Hamilton received a 10-second penalty from the race stewards.

Valtteri Bottas lost a position at the start, but was able to implement an undercut against Lando Norris on lap 23. After the McLaren driver had a slow pit stop, the team reacted quickly and called Valtteri in for his stop. Then Valtteri Bottas drove a flawless race on a longer than planned stint with the hard tires. He was in P2 when asked to let Lewis Hamilton pass in front of them in the fight against Charles Leclerc.
