The decision has arrived and it's a 10s penalty for Verstappen. That drops the Red Bull driver to 10th, which pushes Hulkenberg, Hamilton, Hadjar, Gasly and Alonso up a position.

Conditions are green! Piastri handles the restart perfectly, yet a poor exit from Verstappen out of the final corner drops him down to fourth behind Leclerc.
He was also under pressure from Russell heading into the opening chicane and the Red Bull driver had to use the escape road after a tag from the Mercedes.

Interesting from Red Bull to not simply go for track position and trust Verstappen to fend off the McLaren cars.
However, his hard tyres are a new set, while used softs are on Piastri and Norris.

Verstappen going onto the hard might not be such a bad thing - the C1 was lousy on Friday but Pirelli said track evolution might make it less so.

Drivers are all piling into the pits now, yet a new set of hard tyres have interestingly gone onto Verstappen's Red Bull. Softs for the McLaren duo.
Even Verstappen is confused by that decision, yet race engineer Lambiase said it was the only option...

Getting by OCO-TSU-BOR ahead of that last round of stops cost Norris nearly 2s relative to Piastri. He was 2s behind on L38 and 4s down when it all shook out. Piastri doing personal bests once he was clear of that knot also helped.
Frankly, Norris has been leaking time to Piastri by a regular three or four tenths per lap so the current running order is one of merit.

The blue flags have come out, but somewhat to the detriment of the leading cars having to negate traffic while battling for position.
Verstappen loses the most and he is now 1.5s behind Norris.

However, Norris has Verstappen within a second behind. All drivers are on the softs in a dash until the end now...

We're starting to see more stops now as Verstappen dives in for a third time, but not well managed by Red Bull as he came out right behind Tsunoda. Though, Tsunoda let him by immediately.
Now it's time for McLaren to react...

Hamilton dives into the pits, but a slow 4.9s stop as mechanics struggled to fit the front right means he rejoins in seventh, yet Hadjar is right behind him.

The different strategies at play is interesting. Verstappen is on the soft rubber, the tyre he also started on, while the McLaren cars have already switched to mediums.

Well the undercut has worked wonders for Verstappen. He's back in the lead despite the McLaren boys also having pitted.
But with Verstappen on older rubber, no doubt Piastri will close the 5s gap soon. Norris, though, is 10s behind the Red Bull and on mediums compared to Verstappen's softs.

It is hotter than the past few days with track temperatures approaching 50C. That could play in the hands on Charles Leclerc, the only frontrunner with two sets of more durable medium tyres available to complement his set of softs.
