The Dutchman was in a league of his own as he eased to his seventh victory in a row and ninth win in 11 races this season to extend his championship lead over teammate Perez to 110 points.

Behind fifth-placed Piastri came George Russell, who charged from 18th to sixth, beating Charles Leclerc, whose race was hampered by a slow stop and being hit with a five-second time penalty for speeding in the pit lane. Carlos Sainz was eighth in the other Ferrari, ahead of the Aston Martin duo of Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll who completed the points-scoring positions. Daniel Ricciardo survived contact at the start to finish 13th on his F1 comeback race with AlphaTauri. The Australian was hit from behind by Zhou Guanyu and was powerless to avoid wiping out both Alpines in a dramatic Turn 1 collision.
