Here’s Giles Richards’ race report.

Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri speak:

LN: “I think the three-stop made it a lot harder just physically, you can push a lot more, even the last stint you could pretty much push flat out. Probably one of the hardest races I’ve done in a way but it’s a nice challenge and congrats to Oscar, no mistakes, and of course Max once again.”

OP: “Yeah it was hard, also like Lando said with the three stops it was flat out. It was 57 qualifying laps, which I feel like I’ve done. It was a really good race, I’m happy all the tyres stayed all together. It was good. I’m happy with another trophy too.”
