Wehrlein moved into the lead of the race early on after passing both Jake Dennis and polesitter Maximilian Gunther and then held off the duo in the closing laps to clinch his third victory of the season.
Lining up third at the start, Wehrlein made a rapid getaway from the cleaner side of the grid to immediately jump Dennis' Andretti, before challenging the Maserati MSG of Gunther for the lead on the outside of Turn 1.
