Russell, a 27-year-old Brit, recorded his second victory of the season and fifth of his career. Russell finished 5.43 seconds ahead of Red Bull's Verstappen, who was denied in his quest for three consecutive victories after winning both the Italian Grand Prix and Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Verstappen, however, fended off McLaren teammates Britain's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri of Australia who were third and fourth respectively. The result allowed Norris to trim Piastri's drivers' championship lead to 22 points with six races to go, and it also secured a second consecutive constructors' championship for McLaren.
