Overview
- Kimi Antonelli held off Lando Norris on Sunday to claim a third straight win and move 20 points clear in the Formula 1 standings.
- An early safety car followed a wild opening that saw Max Verstappen spin from the front row, Isack Hadjar hit the wall, and Pierre Gasly’s car flip after contact.
- The FIA later penalized Charles Leclerc 20 seconds for repeated track‑limits violations and driving a damaged car, dropping him from sixth to eighth, while Verstappen received five seconds for crossing the pit‑exit line yet stayed fifth.
- McLaren’s upgrade delivered a strong weekend with a Sprint 1‑2 and a Norris‑Piastri podium double in the Grand Prix, signaling a tighter fight at the front as Mercedes waits to debut its major updates in Canada.
- A separate FIA ruling disqualified Audi’s Gabriel Bortoleto from the Sprint for engine intake air pressure over the 4.8 bar limit, capping a reliability‑hit weekend for Audi.
