The Mexican Sergio Pérez of Red Bull, finished fourth, ahead of the two Spaniards: the Madrid Carlos Sainz of Ferrari -who set the fastest lap in the race and was elected ‘Driver of the Day’- and the double Asturian world champion Fernando Alonso (Alpine), who finished fifth and sixth, respectively.
