Albon jumped six places with a safety car stop on Lap 1, but Verstappen's 40-lap hard tyre stint made it irrelevant by halfway.

Lawson was on mediums when Verstappen had hards—half a second slower per lap in Sector 2 alone sealed his fate before the pit window even opened.

Tsunoda finished a second per lap slower than Verstappen and was never a factor. Red Bull has a one-car team.
