Result Description
Race report
Polesitter Oscar Piastri in the McLaren kept the lead on the first lap, while his teammate Lando Norris moved up to second. Lewis Hamilton in the Ferrari tagged with teammate Charles Leclerc, causing the left endplate of Leclerc's front wing to come off. On the fifth lap, Fernando Alonso in the Aston Martin retired from the race due to overheating on his rear brakes, while Gabriel Bortoleto of Sauber spun into the gravel on the same lap, though he was able to keep going.

Piastri and Norris, the latter suffering from a worsening brake issue, completed their 50th 1-2 finish for McLaren ahead of George Russell in the Mercedes.

Post-race
Following the race, Charles Leclerc of Ferrari and Pierre Gasly of Alpine were disqualified due to their cars being underweight, while sprint winner and Leclerc's teammate Lewis Hamilton was disqualified for excessive skid wear. This marked the first double disqualification for a team since Renault's double disqualification at the 2019 Japanese Grand Prix, the first Grand Prix to see more than two disqualifications since the 2004 Canadian Grand Prix, and the first time in Formula One history that both Ferrari cars had been disqualified from a Grand Prix.

In the days that followed the Grand Prix, Red Bull announced that Liam Lawson would undergo a driver swap with Racing Bulls' Yuki Tsunoda, with the latter taking his seat at Red Bull from the Japanese Grand Prix onward.
