Overview
- Liam Lawson finished ninth to score two points, moving to 38 for the season and helping keep Racing Bulls sixth in the constructors’ standings by 12 points over Aston Martin.
- Isack Hadjar retired on the penultimate lap with a broken front wheel deflector after running strongly in the points, and the team says it will investigate the failure.
- A 25‑lap maximum per tyre set and a lap‑seven crash funneled teams into the same two‑stop plan, creating long DRS trains and limiting passing opportunities.
- Lawson described the processional race as "pretty pointless" after spending long stretches stuck in traffic.
- Lawson said Q2 damage "really hurt" his race by leaving him 12th on the grid, and separate reporting suggests but does not confirm he will stay with Racing Bulls in 2026 alongside Arvid Lindblad with Hadjar moving to Red Bull.
