Executive summary

Lando Norris (McLaren) won from pole by 11.536 s over Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes), with George Russell third— Charles Leclerc set the fastest lap (1:14.230 on L60, on used softs).

The start-compound split: 13 drivers on softs, 7 drivers on mediums, BOT alone on hards. The biggest pit wave came on lap 18 — 3 cars stopping together. The race was shaped by a red flag, a lap-55 VSC, a lap-70 VSC and 3 yellow-flag periods, with ≈6 laps run under caution.

NOR did not lead wire-to-wire: the lead changed hands 6 times, with ANT (laps 6–21 and laps 25–39) and HAM (laps 22–24 and laps 48–53). 6 DNFs: ALB (lap 66, DNF in the pits — brought out the VSC), BOT (lap 61, DNF in the pits), OCO (lap 52, DNF in the pits — brought out the VSC), STR (lap 45, DNF in the pits), BEA (lap 2, DNF in the pits), VER (first-lap crash — brought out the red flag). ANT leads the championship on 242 points, 59 clear with 283 points still available in 11 rounds.
