Executive summary

Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) won from P2 by 4.351 s over Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing), with Lando Norris third— George Russell set the fastest lap (1:35.587 on L49, on new hards).

The start-compound split: HAM/HUL/VER on softs, 7 drivers on mediums, 12 drivers on hards. The biggest pit wave came on lap 14 — 10 cars stopping together. The race was shaped by a lap-14 VSC, with ≈2 laps run under caution.

ANT did not lead wire-to-wire: the lead changed hands 2 times, with NOR (laps 1–15) and LEC (laps 16–47). 4 DNFs: SAI (lap 43, DNF in the pits), PER (lap 31, DNF in the pits), STR (lap 12, stopped on track — brought out the VSC), HAM (lap 6, DNF in the pits). ANT leads the championship on 292 points, 81 clear with 233 points still available in 9 rounds.
