  • The race featured a mandatory two-pit-stop rule for the first time, designed to increase strategic complexity but resulting in minimal overtaking.
  • Charles Leclerc finished second in his home race, while Piastri completed the podium despite a challenging weekend in practice and qualifying.
  • Mercedes endured a disappointing weekend, with George Russell finishing outside the points after a drive-through penalty and Kimi Antonelli placing 18th.
