Tyre strategy analysis
Verstappen pitted under normal racing conditions, after which Bearman stopped and triggered a virtual safety car, creating an opportunity for drivers who had not yet changed tyres. Russell used that window to secure a favourable position and ultimately a podium. Both McLarens used their pace advantage after overtaking early on to shift their focus to managing the gap between themselves.
