In a crash-strewn race shortened to 69 laps, Verstappen took his eighth win of the season, marking one of the best of his career by 19.477 seconds. He emphasized, 'We stayed out of trouble, we made the right calls and stayed calm, and we were flying so all of these things together made that result possible.' This performance not only solidified his lead in the championship race but also ended a 10-race losing streak for Red Bull.
Norris, starting from pole position, finished sixth after a challenging race. He expressed his sentiments, stating, 'It was a tough day, I did my best. I've had a lot of good races; it was about time that something didn't go right.' This marked a significant shift in the title race, as he fell further behind Verstappen, whose victory widened the points gap to 62.
