Result DescriptionThe race started at 15:00 local time (UTC+02:00) on 31 July 2022, and lasted for 70 laps. George Russell kept first place into turn one, from Carlos Sainz Jr. and Charles Leclerc. Further back, Esteban Ocon defended from his Alpine teammate, Fernando Alonso, who later complained about Ocon's defence on the team radio. Contact between Lance Stroll and Alexander Albon meant the latter had to pit to replace a damaged front wing. Kevin Magnussen was forced to pit after he was shown the black and orange flag, due to damage to the right side of his front wing. The virtual safety car (VSC) was called out to pick up debris caused by the collisions. Once the VSC ended, Russell immediately pulled a 2.5 second gap to Sainz. With the help of DRS, Max Verstappen made his way through the grid, overtaking his teammate, both Alpine cars and Lando Norris, before pitting and undercutting Lewis Hamilton. Russell and Sainz both had slow pit stops, which allowed Leclerc to overcut Sainz and close up to Russell, later overtaking him into turn one. Verstappen then closed the gap to Russell and Sainz, as Leclerc extended his lead at the front.
Verstappen pitted again, with Russell and Leclerc making reactionary pitstops. Verstappen undercut Russell, while Leclerc pit onto the slower hard tyres. Verstappen overtook Leclerc into turn one and proceeded to give the lead back after spinning at turn 13 on lap 41. He re-overtook Leclerc. Sainz and Hamilton pitted onto the soft compound tyres, which elevated Verstappen into first. Russell overtook Leclerc, which prompted him to pit and change onto the soft tyres. Hamilton chased down Sainz and Russell, overtaking them both before the end of the race, promoting himself into second.
Yuki Tsunoda spun, causing a brief yellow flag. Stroll attempted to overtake Daniel Ricciardo, Ricciardo locked up and hit Stroll, causing the latter to spin. Neither driver received damage and both carried on whilst Ricciardo was given a five-second time penalty for causing the collision. Valtteri Bottas had a power unit issue on lap 66, leading to his retirement and the second VSC of the race. As the VSC ended, the rain replaced the light drizzle that had been present throughout the race and DRS was disabled on the last lap; all drivers managed to reach the finish without changing onto wet weather tyres.
Verstappen won the race, Hamilton (who set the fastest lap on lap 57) and Russell finishing second and third respectively, leading to Mercedes' second consecutive double podium. Sainz finished fourth. Sergio Pérez was fifth, and Leclerc sixth. Norris finished seventh, ahead of the Alpines of Alonso and Ocon who finished eighth and ninth respectively. Sebastian Vettel finished tenth and was the last of the points finishers.
