After the loss, Stokes took Twitter and joked about his defeat. "It's the taking part that counts...it's what I always tell my kids," he wrote on Twitter.

Leclerc’s 19-year-old brother Arthur was fourth for Ferrari, just ahead of Italian Alfa Romeo driver Antonio Giovinazzi. Stokes' English teammates were following the Grand Prix. Eoin Morgan had posted a tweet for his mate, and then Stuart Broad shared a hilarious video.
