, Max Verstappen 's Red Bull sustained significant damage after striking a bollard, affecting his race performance. Despite the setback, Verstappen managed to secure a second-place finish behind McLaren's Lando Norris who took home his first-ever Grand Prix victory.
The race had started favorably for Verstappen as he retained his pole position into the first corner, but the incident partway through the race altered the dynamics drastically. As a result, his car suffered a loss of approximately two and a half tenths per lap, a critical deficit in the highly competitive field of this season's grid. Horner speculated on the exact performance detriment.
The early loss of performance necessitated a focus on damage limitation and maintaining position rather than outright aggression.
