But as the race wore on, Leclerc was told to pit and his team made the strange decision to put the hard tyre on his car.

Verstappen then breezed past the Monegasque driver as Leclerc struggled for grip - with the Ferrari man eventually finishing down in sixth.

Verstappen won the race, with Mercedes duo Hamilton and Russell coming home second and third respectively.

And prior to the podium presentation, the three of them had a chuckle at Ferrari's expense as they tried to get their heads around the failed strategy.

"I wanted to stay out and I don't know why I was called in. I was confused by that.

"Everybody will remember the last part of the race where it was a disaster for me, especially the hard [tyres] – that’s why I lost the race, basically."

Ferrari's in-race tactics have repeatedly cost them points so far this season.

And the Scuderia are now drifting out of contention in both championships.

Verstappen leads Leclerc by a mammoth 80 points in the drivers standings heading into the four-week summer break.
