In the closing laps of the race, Pastor Maldonaldo was quicker than the 3rd-placed Lewis Hamilton who was struggling with his tyre and later admitted that he would have struggled to hold off Maldonaldo as his tyre were gone and it was almost like he had “flat tyres at the back”. In the 2nd last lap of the race, Maldonaldo tried to overtake Hamilton around the outside of turn 12 but went wide off the track. He came back in at turn 13 and collided with Hamilton, punting him into the wall and out of the race.
