Behind them, Hamilton engaged in a prolonged battle with Max Verstappen for third position, repeatedly attempting overtakes before finally passing the Red Bull driver shortly after a Virtual Safety Car was deployed following Nico Hülkenberg going off track.
George Russell also featured prominently in the fight for the podium, showing impressive pace on medium tyres before suffering a slow puncture that forced an unscheduled pit stop and dropped him down the order.Lando Norris briefly led the race through pit-stop strategy but later relinquished first place when making his own tyre change.
With just over a dozen laps remaining, the race remained finely balanced, with Leclerc leading Antonelli while Hamilton strengthened his chances of securing a podium finish in front of his home crowd.
