Charles Leclerc endured the battle against the current F1 world champion, Max Verstappen, with whom the lead was exchanged midway through the race, but the Red Bull driver was forced to finally retire due to a loss of power in his Honda engine, which which led to the Ferrari double.

Lewis Hamilton completed the podium after the abandonment of the other Red Bull, that of Sergio Pérez, after another problem in the Honda power unit of his RB18.
