The race began with 19 drivers, following Lance Stroll's crash at the end of Q1, which triggered a red flag. It was won by Carlos Sainz Jr. for the second victory of his Formula One career. Sainz took pole position and led the entire race, finishing ahead of Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton. For most of the race George Russell was looking at a podium but crashed out on the last lap at turn 10. The Grand Prix was the only race of the 2023 season that was not won by a Red Bull Racing driver; it also ended Max Verstappen's record streak of ten consecutive wins and Red Bull Racing's record streak of fifteen consecutive wins. AlphaTauri driver Liam Lawson scored his first points in Formula One by finishing ninth in the race.
