Yuki Tsunoda achieved his second pole, setting the time 0.128 seconds faster than Nikita Mazepin in the Qualifying.[1] Mazepin crossed the finish line first in the race but he was handed a five-seconds time penalty for forcing Tsunoda off the track multiple times.[2] Schumacher was another person on podium.

Shwartzman benefited from his good start and collision between Dan Ticktum and Roy Nissany, reclaiming the championship lead from Ilott with the sprint race win.[3] Schumacher returned on podium, bringing Prema their first double on the finish of the sprint race. Guanyu Zhou completed the podium.
