It was the last lap of the race and Charles was comfortably leading heading into the last set of corners famously known as the “Bus stop” Chicane. Heading into the chicane, Charles was gliding with ease while Cem came close and attempted an overtake around the outside over the kerbs, as they approached the Chicane. Cem, racing in his Toro Rosso Red Bull car took a daring lunge and nudged Leclerc’s Ferrari as they headed to the Finish line.
