RACE REPORT

A number of drivers pitted for intermediate tyres but the switch was premature as first Sebastian Vettel spun dramatically while on full wets and then Sauber ’ s Marcus Ericsson , on inters , lost control at the final turn and crashed heavily .
His car came to rest at the pit entry , just as Verstappen elected to pit . The Red Bull man had to take evasive action to avoid the stricken Sauber but he made his pit stop for intermediate tyres cleanly . His team-mate Daniel Ricciardo was following and by the time the Australian committed to turning towards the pit entry , race control had closed the pit lane . The Red Bull driver was caught out and after stopping for intermediates he was put under investigation .
