Despite starting 19th, Antoneelli spent the entire race hunting down Mercedes team mate George Russell, eventually passing him on lap 50 of 53. His win increases his lead over Russell in the title race to 66 points with 10 races remaining. Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton, who finished sixth, drops to 76 points behind. The next race is the Spanish Grand Prix at the new track, the Madring.
