==== Report ====
At the start, Hamilton beat Verstappen into the first corner, and Verstappen was challenged by Leclerc for 2nd. At Turn 8, the pair collided sending Verstappen off the track. Further back, Russell tapped Ocon into a spin, colliding with Giovinazzi at Turn 4. Giovinazzi retired, and the safety car was deployed to clear debris. Racing resumed on Lap 5. Sergio Perez passed both the Ferraris a few laps after the restart. On Lap 21, Yuki Tsunoda pitted and rejoined with a loose right rear wheel. On Lap 41, Hamilton began to slow, allowing Perez to take the lead. He suffered a gearbox failure, putting him out of the race. Leclerc hustled Perez for the lead throughout the next couple of laps. On Lap 44, Leclerc passed Perez to take the lead. On Lap 47, Verstappen pressured Sainz for 4th, before Max suffered a suspension failure after his first lap incident. This triggered a safety car. On the restart on Lap 52, Perez pressured Leclerc but found himself being passed by Bottas. Bottas chased down Leclerc. 2 Laps later, Bottas tried the outside at Turn 6, but spun in the process, knocking him down the order. Sainz passed Perez in the last sector while Leclerc won the race.
