After successfully completing the move, Lando Norris settled in behind one of the Haas cars and proceeded onto his next plan of attack. Finally in the end, Lando Norris finished the race in a fine 6th place. Meanwhile, teammate Carlos Sainz Jr was in a good position and even battling former teammate Max Verstappen.

However, the two collided and Sainz came off worse and was eventually forced to retire. Verstappen in the meantime ended the race 4th but breathing down the neck of an ailing Charles LeClerc.
