After losing two places at the start, how did Lando Norris make the one-stop strategy work to take his fifth victory of the season?

And with just nine points separating the McLaren teammates, who’s the momentum with going into the summer break?

Charles Leclerc took a shock pole position on Saturday, so why did he end up finishing off the podium after leading from the start? Did Ferrari get his strategy wrong?
