Result Description
The race was red-flagged on lap 1 after a crash between Sergio Pérez, Nico Hülkenberg and Kevin Magnussen, all of whom retired. The crash resulted in heavy damage to the barriers and a large amount of debris being spread across the first corners. Additionally, as the Alpines exited Portier, Esteban Ocon squeezed himself into the path of Pierre Gasly, pitching the former's car upward. Ocon, who admitted responsibility for the incident, retired during the red flag period. Ocon would later be given a five-place grid penalty for the following Canadian Grand Prix.

Leclerc kept the lead following the restart to win the race ahead of Oscar Piastri, who scored his first podium of the season for McLaren, Leclerc's teammate Carlos Sainz Jr., who had recovered from a first-lap puncture from contact with Piastri, and Lando Norris. This was Leclerc's first race win since the 2022 Austrian Grand Prix. Leclerc became the first Monégasque driver since Louis Chiron in 1931 to win his home Grand Prix, and the first to win it as a Formula One World Championship event.
