Carlos Sainz was fourth ahead of McLaren's Lando Norris, who was fifth. Then, in sixth place was Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso.
Lewis Hamilton was in the seven position. His Mercedes teammate George Russel was eighth.
Pierre Gasly of Alpine F1 Team was the driver who crossed the finish line ninth. The 10th position was occupied by Aston Martin driver Lance Stroll.
