Historic victory for Lewis Hamilton
The race began with pole-sitter George Russell leading the pack, followed closely by Hamilton. An exciting battle soon ensued between the two Mercedes drivers and the McLaren pair of Norris and Oscar Piastri, with changing weather conditions adding to the drama.
As the field began switching to intermediate tyres after the initial phase of the race, the lead changed hands multiple times. The skies eventually cleared, prompting a switch back to slick tyres. Hamilton capitalized on pitting for slicks one lap before Norris, who also faced a slow pit stop, to seize the lead.
