Fellow Red Bull teammate and reigning world champion Max Verstappen came in second place, after starting off in 15th place. Verstappen got elimination in Q2 after suffering an engine failure.

Meanwhile, there was a slight controversy surrounding the third spot, which ended with Fernando Alonso receiving a late penalty for lining up outside his grid slot. Following the penalty, George Russell won the third-place finish.

However, just a few moments later, Aston Martin reviewed the penalty rewarding Alonso with third spot again. Aside from the top three, Mercedes duo Russell and Lewis Hamilton rounded up the top five.
