Overview
- Lando Norris led from pole to win by roughly 30 seconds, moving to 357 points and edging Oscar Piastri 357–356, with Max Verstappen third and now 36 points off the top.
- Oscar Piastri finished fifth after a late virtual safety car for Carlos Sainz’s stoppage halted his charge at Oliver Bearman, costing him a likely fourth and the standings lead.
- Charles Leclerc took second as Verstappen’s soft-tyre stint set up a late attack that was neutralized by the VSC, with the Red Bull driver saying more car speed is needed.
- Lewis Hamilton received a 10-second penalty for leaving the track and gaining an advantage in an early clash, contributing to an eighth-place finish for Ferrari.
- Oliver Bearman secured a career-best fourth for Haas, while the FIA opened a review after two marshals ran across the track in front of Liam Lawson early in the race, and Red Bull signaled a post‑race timeframe for its 2026 driver decision with Arvid Lindblad heavily tipped for Racing Bulls.
