Won the 8th championship this season. On the other hand, the main opponent, Charles Leclerc, only finished the race in sixth place following Ferrari’s tire change tactics failed, and the total score was even thrown away by “Wei Shao” by as much as 80 points.
Westerben lost power in the third round of qualifying because of the chariot, and only started in 10th place following failing to make a fast lap. Pace driver George Russell relied on an outstanding performance, beating teammate Lewis Hamilton and two Ferraris to get his first start in F1 career. After the start of the race, Hamilton, who was ranked 7th, surpassed the two Alpines to move up to 5th, while Albon’s Williams chariot left debris on the track due to the collision, triggering the deployment of the virtual safety car, and it was not until the third lap. Full resumption of competition.
Westerbon chased down and jumped up the ranking, and on the 12th lap, he overtook Lando Norris, who was in fourth place, with Hamilton. However, when attacking Hamilton, he once expressed to the team that he was suspected of lack of power. But the chariot soon regained its speed. Afterwards, Sings and Lucy pitted for the second set of medium tires, but the latter successfully executed the Overcut tactic on the 21st lap and exited the station ahead of Sings, who was originally in second place. Lu Klei also seized the opportunity to overtake Russell from the outer gear before the turn on the 31st lap, and then quickly pulled away to 1 second.
“Wei Shao” changed to medium tires on the 39th lap, and following 2 laps, he successfully attacked Lu Clay, who had just changed to hard tires, and rose to third.

Russell succeeded in his “revenge” once morest Lu Clay on the 54th lap and took second place.
