ANALYSIS
Piastri would get away clean at the lights out as Verstappen and Norris squabbled over P2. That would allow the young McLaren driver to scoot away and build a decent margin back to the other drivers. There was plenty of action back in the pack throughout this GP but Piastri would stay out in front of it with excellent pace and pit strategy to keep him clear of the fray playing out behind him. The young driver would take the checkered flag nearly 2.5-seconds ahead of Norris for his fifth victory of the season.
