Max Verstappen extended his championship lead as he cruised to the chequered flag to claim another dominant win for Red
“Lando Norris strategically gained track position over Sergio Perez by making a pit stop at reduced speed and securing a podium finish in the second Red Bull. Williams made the decision to withdraw Logan Sargeant before the race to experiment with his set-up, causing disruption in the pre-race preparations at Aston Martin due to damage on Fernando Alonso’s car’s floor. Max Verstappen led the pack on the formation lap, while Lewis Hamilton lost a place and found himself behind Sargeant’s Williams on Soft tires. Norris avoided mistakes from previous races to keep fourth, with his teammate Oscar Piastri in fifth, as other drivers shuffled positions on the track. Charles Leclerc showcased strong performance, overtaking rivals with clever maneuvers, while Hamilton started making progress from the back of the field after a challenging start on Soft tires.”
