Wow! LeClerc has the race bagged then loses power and finds a DNF costing him the championship lead. Hamilton and Magnussen bump early on finding themselves bringing up the rear and Lewis radio calls essentially giving up. The team says work with it and he almost takes fourth but has to cede a position to save fuel winding up fifth. Mercedes upgrades are working and the team is now competing at the sharp end. A race without a safety car finally as well.
