On the final lap of a wet 20-lap sprint, Lando Norris made a lunge on Oscar Piastri on the inside of Turn 5, unsuccessfully backing out of a closing gap and striking his McLarne team-mate's right-rear corner.
The tangle sent both cars into a spin, with Piastri eliminated and sustaining severe damage to the rear of his MCL40 and Norris dropping down to eighth at the finish. The stewards summoned both drivers, but decided not to take further action because "the stewards considered that both drivers had contributed to the incident and that neither driver was wholly or predominantly to blame for the collision.
