Verstappen now leads by 52 points heading into the final six races of the season, while McLaren have a 41-point lead over Red Bull in the constructors' championship.

On top of this, Norris' McLaren was subject to fuel and sample oil checks, with both cars seemingly passing all necessary checks, with no disqualification verdict announced.

It means that the race result stands, with Norris' third career victory bringing him closer to Verstappen and to a first world championship title.

Daniel Ricciardo's last-lap heroics took a point away from his old team-mate Norris for the fastest lap, helping another former team-mate in Verstappen to keep that hefty buffer.
