Executive summary

Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) won from P19 by 3.857 s over George Russell (Mercedes), with Max Verstappen third— sealing it with the fastest lap (1:23.504 on L53, the final lap, on new mediums).

The start-compound split: 10 drivers on softs, 9 drivers on mediums, ALO/ANT/TSU on hards. The biggest pit wave came on lap 27 — 5 cars stopping together. The race was shaped by a lap-3 safety car, a red flag, a lap-28 VSC and 1 yellow-flag period, with ≈4 laps run under caution.

ANT did not lead wire-to-wire: the lead changed hands 6 times, with GAS (lap 1) and RUS (laps 2–11 and laps 15–17 and laps 23–49) and VER (laps 12–14). 3 DNFs: STR (lap 26, stopped on track — brought out the VSC), ALO (lap 23, DNF in the pits), LEC (first-lap crash — brought out the red flag). ANT leads the championship on 267 points, 66 clear with 258 points still available in 10 rounds.
