Episode Details

Charles Leclerc clinched a dramatic, safety car-aided win despite a late twist triggered by Max Verstappen’s suspected rear wing issue, while Lewis Hamilton’s fresh tires and push for position were thwarted. Leclerc’s lead was secure before the safety car, and his Ferrari resurgence—after tweaking power delivery and differential settings—proved pivotal. The team’s data-driven fix unlocked his preferred driving style, culminating in a front-row start and a commanding race performance. Meanwhile, George Russell’s second-place finish felt more like luck than skill, as he admitted struggles to find answers in his current form. Antonelli’s pole position was overshadowed by a front grip issue from a detached wheel shield, opening the door for Leclerc’s unexpected triumph—a result that even surprised Ferrari. The race also sparked debate over artificial overtaking due to power disparities, but Leclerc’s comeback reaffirmed his status as a top contender.
