Charles Leclerc (Ferrari), who was performing a formation lap to check the condition of the track and machine by taking one last lap around the course before moving to the start line, lost his balance in a corner, spun and hit the protective wall.

In the end, Leclerc faced the absurd situation of giving up the race without even being able to race.

A major accident also occurred in the race that started without Leclerc.

Before entering the first corner of lap 1, Alexander Albon (Williams) and Kevin Magnussen (Haas) collided and had to retire together.

In the end, the red flag was raised and the race was stopped, and the race continued with a restart on lap 4.

Max Verstappen, who took the lead, was fiercely pursued by Norris.

Norris did well, catching up to Verstafer by 0.111 seconds on lap 8, but was unable to close the gap any further and ultimately gave the win to Max Verstappen.

At the end of the race, the battle for third place between Alonso and Perez was fierce.

Just before the 4th corner of the last 71 laps, Alonso overtook Perez and rose to 3rd place, and after a speed competition on the straight ahead of the finish line, Alonso confirmed 3rd place by 0.053 seconds.
