Overview
- Lando Norris capped a dominant weekend with sprint victory, pole and his seventh Grand Prix win of the year to move 24 points clear in the drivers’ standings.
- Oscar Piastri finished fifth after serving a 10-second penalty for contact with Kimi Antonelli that also eliminated Charles Leclerc, and he now trails his McLaren teammate by 24 points.
- Max Verstappen started from the pit lane after car changes, including a new engine, and charged to third to remain mathematically in contention, 49 points off the lead.
- Ferrari suffered a double retirement as Leclerc retired from the lap-6 incident and Lewis Hamilton later parked with damage, dropping the team to fourth in the constructors’ championship.
- Antonelli secured a career-best second place, while Leclerc said the Turn 1 clash was not entirely Piastri’s fault even as the FIA labeled the Australian wholly responsible.
