Lando Norris suffered a turn 1 incident with Max Verstappen on Lap 1 and spun180 degrees to drop to the last position of the grid. The World Champion was thus slapped with a 10 second penalty. Moments later, Piastri hit Fanco Colapinto on the back, which ended the Argentine’s race and the Aussie received a 10 second penalty.
Ferrai did made good strides but it wasn’t enough for them. Carlos Sainz on his last race for Ferrari finished second as he moves to Williams. Charles Leclerc started 19th on the grid and finished 3rd, but was still unable to match McLaren who reigned supreme and won the title. Red Bull came in third and Mercedes finished fourth.
