Further back, it's a Gasly business as Pierre is penalised for contact with Carlos Sainz's Williams.

Both McLarens have cleared that traffic and it's a straight-up fight for the win. Piastri has a 14-lap tyre delta over his team-mate.

Two laps to go and Piastri gets close on the run to Turn 1, but no cigar.

21s further in arrears, George Russel is secure in P3 with 10.4s in hand now to Charles Leclerc.

At the start of lap 69, Piastri lunges up the inside into Turn 1 but locks his front wheels and narrowly avoids biffing his team-mate.

At the beginning of the final lap, Piastri has another look at Norris at Turn 1 but sagaciously calls it off.

LANDO NORRIS WINS

0.698s separates the two McLarens as Oscar Piastri hounds his team-mate to the flag.

That's grand prix win number 200 for McLaren. The team was stuck on 182 for nine years, remember...

Radio silence from Piastri as Stallard accentuates the positive, telling him he raced well and reminding him that he's still in the lead of the championship.

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.

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".

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