The difference came down to strategy, as Norris stumbled down the order as the lights went out, while Piastri was well ahead but pitted relatively early on lap 18 of 70, which essentially committed him to stopping twice in the race.
Meanwhile, Norris chose to only pit once, on lap 31.
This led to a thrilling late-race chase in which Piastri, on newer tyres, was right on his teammate Norris’s rear wing. On lap 68, Piastri tried to dive for position at Turn 1 but pulled out of the move, and one lap later the Australian driver locked up his tyres as he again lunged for the lead at the first turn.
Norris went on to win by just 0.698s.
