Summary

A virtual safety car caused by Lance Stroll’s car allowed Antonelli to pit for fresh tires, providing the tactical advantage needed to pass race leader George Russell in the final four laps. Russell finished in second place, nearly four seconds behind his teammate, while Max Verstappen secured third. Charles Leclerc retired from the race on lap 2 following a crash. Following this result, Antonelli holds a 66-point lead over Russell in the drivers' championship standings. The Formula One season continues with the upcoming Spanish Grand Prix in Madrid.
