Race 1

It was a dominant performance from Albon from the start of the race, with him maintaining the lead with a comfortable buffer over the rest of the pack. The race began to settle toward the middle of the race, with Stuvik falling back through the pack and Leclerc started to chase after his teammate. Jake Hughes was on a charge, but after a rear wing failure, he was forced to retire after running as high as fourth. Matt Parry was also on a charge, with him climbing from 12th on the grid, although he found himself hounded by Nyck de Vries who had started from 19th. However, at the front, Albon was victorious from teammate Leclerc and Antonio Fuoco.
