- Notes
- ^1 – Fernando Alonso was required to start the race from the back of the grid for exceeding his quota of power unit elements.[20]
Race
The race started at 15:00 local time,[1] with all drivers but Lewis Hamilton starting with soft compounds, compared to Hamilton's medium.[21] Charles Leclerc kept the lead ahead of Max Verstappen,[22] while Carlos Sainz Jr. had a bad start and was overtook by both George Russell and Sergio Pérez.[22] Going into turn 4, Hamilton and Kevin Magnussen had contact, with Magnussen ending up in the gravel,[22] leaving both drivers running in 19th and 20th; Hamilton, who had suffered a front-left tyre puncture,[23] suggested retiring the car but was motivated to race by the team.[24] Sainz Jr. spun at turn 4 on lap 7, dropping to 11th, and Verstappen in the same spot two laps later,[22] both of them blamed it on wind gust,[25] and Sainz said the car suffered damages that hampered his comeback,[26] and that he is "not driving naturally".[27] By lap 12, Verstappen was let through by Pèrez but was suffering recurring DRS issues,[22][28] despite parts of DRS were replaced before the starts.[29] On lap 13, Russell and Verstappen were the first of the top four drivers to pit for the medium-compound tyres, followed on lap 18 by Pèrez, who came out behind Russell and Verstappen.[22] As Verstappen was not able to pass Russell, Pèrez asked to be given back the position on lap 26 but was denied,[30] although he was promised a swap position later in the race.[31][32] On lap 27, Leclerc, who was able to pit later among top four driver and had built a significant lead,[33] retired from the race with a power unit issue, which was followed by Zhou Guanyu a few laps later.[22] Russell inherited the lead of the race, with Pérez in second, while Verstappen had an early second pit stop on lap 30.[22]
On lap 31, Perez managed to overtake Russell for the lead.[22] On lap 36, Russell pitted, followed by Pérez a lap later; both went for the medium compound.[22] On lap 44, Verstappen pit for a third time back on medium, with Pèrez now leading the race.[22] Pérez was then instructed to let Verstappen through because they were on different strategies,[34] handing Verstappen the lead of the race on lap 49;[22] Pérez described this as "unfair",[24] and Verstappen would remain unchallenged for the rest of the race.[22] Hamilton, running in 5th, overtook Sainz for 4th on lap 60 but Sainz retook 4th position on lap 64 with Hamilton's car suffering from cooling issues,[22] and Russell also had to slow down due to similar issues but were able to finish third and fifth, respectively.[22] On lap 55, Pérez set the fastest lap of the race.[21]
Verstappen won the race ahead of Pérez,[22] completing a second Red Bull team's 1–2 finish of the season.[35] Valtteri Bottas, Esteban Ocon, Lando Norris, Fernando Alonso, who started 20th because he took a grid penalty for exceeding his quota of power unit elements,[22] Yuki Tsunoda completed the list of top-ten finishers.[36] With the win, for the first time in the season Verstappen and Red Bull took the lead in the Drivers' and Constructors' standings.[24] After the race, Pérez said he wanted answers from the team.[37][38][39] Pérez said he was satisfied after internal talks.[40]
