What shaped the race

Norris won from pole by 14.6 s in a wet–dry–wet race, and Mercedes clinched the Constructors’ Championship despite both drivers spinning. Seven drivers took power-unit grid penalties, so Verstappen started 21st and finished second; Hadjar made it a double Red Bull podium. Every driver started on Intermediates, switched to Softs around laps 14–18 and went back to Intermediates when rain returned around lap 60.

Laps 1–19 · Antonelli leads, Russell spins

Antonelli took the lead from second at Turn 1 and Lawson ran second. Verstappen was 13th by the end of lap 1 from 21st. Norris pitted for Softs on lap 16; Russell spun leaving the pits and lost around 15–20 seconds.

Lap 20 · the lead changes

On cold Softs Antonelli spun at Turn 1, handing the lead to Norris, who controlled the dry middle of the race. A second set of Softs for the front-runners came between laps 45 and 54.

Laps 60–71 · rain again

A late shower forced everyone back onto Intermediates. Norris stayed clear; Verstappen got ahead of Hadjar for second. Leclerc passed Lawson on the penultimate lap but a five-second penalty for their collision put the Racing Bulls car back ahead.
