Worth Watching Score

7.4

If you’re after a fight for the win, this one won’t grab you—Max Verstappen dominated from lights to flag with little jeopardy. The intrigue came behind him: two Safety Cars shuffled strategies and helped Lando Norris jump Sergio Perez, while a messy restart sparked collisions and contributed to three DNFs. There were 112 overtakes, mostly DRS blasts down the long straight, so the action was frequent if not always memorable. Worth a highlights watch for the Norris-Perez strategy swing and the chaotic midfield, but it’s no classic.
