By lap 20 everyone moved to the medium tyre; with Daniel down in 18th being the first to try it and say big gains
Esteban 5sec penalty for unsafe release during the pit stops
After pitting top 3 were Max, Perez, Charles
Lap 26 Mick was didn’t make a turn going against Latifi and went through the wet grass on slicks so he spun again
