Quick calls

  • Winning margin: 7.7s
  • Classified finishers: 19
  • Fastest lap: ANT
  • Winning constructor: Mercedes

What to watch

  • Can ANT convert front-running pace into the win, or will HAM apply real pressure?
  • The midfield fight around VER–GAS should decide the final points places.
  • Tyre degradation and pit-window timing will shape the closing laps.

Upset watch

HAD: A clean start and an offset strategy could vault Isack Hadjar well beyond the grid's expectations — the raw pace is closer than the order suggests.
