Piastri, leader of the world championship, has ahead of his British teammate Lando Norris and the Monegasque Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) after a race that was animated in the last laps after the intervention of the safety car.
The Australian is now 10 points ahead of his garage neighbor and 49 on the quadruple Dutch world champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull).
Verstappen, who was struggling with Leclerc and George Russell (Mercedes) for third place, struck the Briton when he had to let him pass and received a ten -second penalty which made him go back from the fifth to tenth place.
Starting in 15th position, Nico Hulkenberg (SAUBER) made a superb race: after a very good start and a good strategy of his stable, the German took advantage of the recovery of the race after the security car to seize the sixth place by doubling the Frenchman Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) then the British Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari). Sixth on the line, he finally climbed into fifth row after the sanction imposed in Verstappen.
