Thanks so much for joining us today, it's been an absolute blast - and what a treat that race was! We'll be back next week to do it all again - see ya then!
Bottas, Leclerc and Norris continue the pre-race End Racism gesture, displaying one of the t-shirts worn pre-race.
Here's the temporary podium - we'll call it the CO-dium, given current affairs - but this start-finish straight ceremony is arguably a lot better for the fa...oh, never mind.
Norris: "Oh, I don't know, I'm speechless. There were a few points where I thought I fudged it - I was fifth, Carlos was closing in on me, but I didn't give up, got past Perez and I'm on the podium! I'm so proud of the team, coming back from where we were a couple of years ago. Proud to be part of it all."
Leclerc: "I did not expect it! A huge surprise, but a good one - I think we did everything perfect today to finish second. We had a bit of luck with Lewis' penalty and some crashes, but that was the goal - to take every opportunity. There's still a lot of work to do, we are still very far away."
Bottas: "There was definitely quite a bit of pressure - one safety car was okay, but I was like 'another, come on'. Lewis was quick today but I was able to control it. I couldn't use all the kerbs and at some points I was slightly worried - but we both managed to finish."
Provisional final classification: 1. Bottas, 2. Leclerc, 3. Norris, 4. Hamilton, 5. Sainz, 6. Perez, 7. Gasly, 8. Ocon, 9. Giovinazzi, 10. Vettel, 11. Latifi - Ret. everyone else.
Gasly got the AlphaTauri to the finish in seventh ahead of the returning Ocon, Giovinazzi and Vettel. Latifi's debut race ended last of the 11 remaining runners.
"I don't want to celebrate too much, yet" Norris says, sounding like a man who's been burned before.
Hamilton, on the road is second - but drops to fourth! Lando Norris puts in the fastest lap - and third is his!
And Leclerc passes Perez! He cruises down the inside of the Racing Point at turn 3, and has third place to show!
Leclerc, meanwhile, stuffs his car down the inside of Lando Norris and grabs fourth place - oh, and the fastest lap.
