Feature race

The race has been red-flagged midway-through on lap 20 after a collision between Mick Schumacher and Tatiana Calderón on Rascasse. As a result, everyone down between Calderón in ninth and Raghunathan in nineteenth was stuck behind the incident. That bizarrely meant that the entire top eight gained a lap on the rest of the field, although they would all have to serve their mandatory stop after the race restarted.
