What happened

McLaren set the pace on Saturday with a sprint one-two, Norris ahead of Piastri. On Sunday, Antonelli converted pole into the win by 3.3 seconds over Norris, through light rain, a Safety Car and several lead changes.

Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc both locked up into Turn 1 at the start, and Verstappen spun to the back. He fought back into the points and finished fifth despite a five-second penalty for an unsafe pit exit. Leclerc took a 20-second penalty after the race for track-limit offences on the last lap and fell from fourth to eighth.

Why it matters

Antonelli builds a 20-point cushion

Three straight wins put him on 100 points, 20 clear of Russell, who finished fourth.

McLaren is back in the fight

A double podium on Sunday and a sprint one-two moved Norris into the top four of the standings.
