Piastri is a cool customer but he looks like a man who's just received his eighth pointless email of the day from LinkedIn.

A solid P5 for Fernando Alonso. Pre-race he said he hoped to hold on to his starting position at the very least. Job done!
Also a great job by Bortoleto to bring his Sauber home in sixth. Stroll just behind him in seventh, with Lawson and Verstappen in close attendance. 10th, and a lap down, is Antonelli.
In the post-race interviews Norris says "the one-stop was our only option to get back into things".

Russell crosses the line 21.2s behind, secure in P3 because Leclerc fell off faster than Richard Chamberlain in The Towering Inferno in those closing laps, even before his penalty was applied.

Russell complaining that Leclerc moved under braking at Turn 1 when they began their 61st lap.
At the start of lap 62 Russell tries again, Leclerc squeezes him, but Russell gets by on the inside.
Russell gets on the team radio to complain again and uses a naughty word, thankfully obfuscated lest the FIA president clutch his pearls.

Piastri continues to shave Norris's lead by half a second or more per lap, so he will likely be on his tail by the end of lap 63.

Hamilton, Hadjar and Antonelli coming up next for the leaders. Hamilton actually lapping up to a second faster than those cars ahead of him so this will be an interesting scenario. Norris and Piastri reeling him in at around half a second per lap, so they will be there in four laps or so.
