Lap 2. Charles pits and he too is slowed by other cars so the two Ferraris are sixth and seventh.
Lap 3. Fernando Alonso goes off at Pouhon: Safety Car.
Lap 5. The race resumes and one lap later both Carlos and Charles pass Sergio Perez, so they are fifth and sixth.
Lap 9. Lewis Hamilton is given a 5 second penalty, which means the Ferrari duo will each gain a position.
Finish. Max Verstappen wins from Oscar Piastri and Pierre Gasly, Carlos and Charles.
