Midfield saw its fair share of battles and misfortune. A fierce battle between Kevin Magnussen and Yuki Tsunoda resulted in a collision that forced the Japanese driver out of the race.
Magnussen's move earned him a 10-second time penalty, a fate shared by Williams' Logan Sargeant, who was penalised for overtaking under safety car conditions.
Aston Martin's Lance Stroll also found himself on the receiving end of a 10-second penalty after causing a collision with Daniel Ricciardo at Turn 14 hairpin.
Ricciardo himself got a 10-second penalty for passing Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg under safety car conditions, but since he retired from the race, a three-place grid penalty was imposed instead, which the Australian will serve in the Sprint race in Miami.
