• FIA gave Lewis Hamilton a five‑second post‑race penalty for repeated track‑limits breaches, dropping him from seventh to eighth and promoting Fernando Alonso to seventh.
• Norris and Piastri touched in the opening laps, sharpening internal strain as Piastri leads the Drivers' standings on 336 points to Norris's 314, with Verstappen on 273.
