The Spaniard started the race from pole position and did not miss his chance to earn his spot at the top of the podium.
From the wheel of his Ferrari, Sainz was flawless and led the race from start to finish. He knew how to hold off British racers Lando Norris (McLaren) and Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes), who finished in second and third place respectively. Mexico's Sergio Checo Pérez finished eighth and Fernando Alonso finished fifteenth.
With this victory, Sanz is ranked fifth in the overall standings with 142 points.
