Verstappen, who started strong from pole position and maintained the lead for most of the race, faced intense competition from McLaren’s Norris after their final pit stops on Lap 52 of 71. A rare slow pit stop for Red Bull, due to an issue with the left rear wheel, allowed Norris to close the gap to under two seconds.
Norris persistently pressured Verstappen, making several attempts to overtake. The tension culminated on Lap 64 when the two drivers made contact, resulting in punctures for both and forcing them to limp back to the pits.
This turn of events allowed Russell, who had been running third, to seize the lead. He maintained his position until the chequered flag, marking his second career victory in Formula 1.
Haas had a strong showing with Nico Hulkenberg and Kevin Magnussen finishing sixth and eighth respectively, separated by Red Bull’s Sergio Perez in seventh. Daniel Ricciardo earned two points for RB with a ninth-place finish, and Alpine’s Pierre Gasly completed the top ten.
Charles Leclerc had an eventful race, recovering from a first-lap incident with Piastri to finish 11th after four pit stops. Alpine’s Esteban Ocon followed in 12th, having earlier engaged in a close battle with teammate Gasly.
Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll finished 13th, ahead of RB’s Yuki Tsunoda in 14th and Williams’ Alex Albon in 15th.
Sauber’s wait for their first points of 2024 continued, with Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu finishing 16th and 17th respectively. Fernando Alonso, who set the fastest lap on his final tour, struggled for pace and finished 18th after receiving a penalty for pushing Zhou off the track.
Logan Sargeant was the last classified finisher for Williams in 19th. Norris, carrying a five-second penalty for exceeding track limits, retired to the pits following his collision with Verstappen, ending a promising day in disappointment.
