The reigning champion started the race from first position and maintained the lead until the finish of the race. The second place was taken by the British Mercedes driver George Russell, the top three was completed by the Spaniard Carlos Sainz (Williams). The finish of the sprint took place in safety car mode due to the accident of Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) and Esteban Ocon (Haas).
