The race was won by Schumacher, who was victorious in the feature race for the first time.

In the sprint race Ticktum crossed the finish line first after dominating the race, but he was disqualified due to a lack of fuel. Ilott inherited the win and retook the lead in the championship from Shwartzman. [3] [4]
