Just to clarify, Hamilton finished down 30+ seconds because he made a second stop for fresh tires. Running behind Leclerc in for the entirety of his second stint really took a toll on his tires (he had blisters on the right front tire). He had a pit stop in hand over the Renault's and it was an easy decision to get the extra point for fastest lap.
That being said, it was nice to see Leclerc being aggressive and putting up a strong fight. Watching him battle Hamilton and Verstappen in the future will be very entertaining!
