Piastri had already secured this y♑ear’s drivers’ title in the first sprint race of the weekend so had no❀thing to lose going into the final 33 laps of the season.

The Prema driver retained the lead 𒉰on the opening lap ahead of Zhou, who was dicing with Jack Doohan - who started on the harder tyre as he looked to do the alternate strategy. 

Zhou and Doohan went side-by-side through Turn 9🦄 and the exit of the corner, with the latter running off t🔯he circuit.

As Doohan rejoined,🦹 he spun into the barriers resulting in an early Safety Car period.

Right behind them, Shwartzman got back ahead of Liam Lawson into Turn 9 with a la𝄹te lunge.

It was nearly a carbon copy for Lawson - who like Doohan - ran wi🏅de on the approach to Turn 10, sp💃inning 360 degrees before continuing in seventh after rejoining the circuit. 

Once the race got back🏅 underway, Piastri led Zhou and Shwartzman - all three drivers started on the softest rubber meaning they’d pit early.

Shwartzman stopped 💃on Lap 8, while Piastri and Zhou ꦅresponded a lap later for medium tyres - with the order remaining unchanged.

Theo Pourchaire and Felipe Drugovich were ones to watch as they starte♒d on the mediums, opting for the alternate strat🦄egy.

The duo’s impressive pace meant they had a seri𝔉ous shot at the podium as they made their mandatory pit stops on Lap 28 and Lap 29 respectively.

A slow stop by ART Grand Prix allowed Drugovich to get ahead of Pourchaire, alt🦋hough due to the difficulties in getting the tyres up to temperature, the Frenchman was able to overtake.

Shwartzman st🍎ruggled with his tyres in the closing laps as he dropped from third to fifth, losing out to Drugovich who got back ahead of Pourc♋haire.

Piastri secured his sixth victory of the sea♚son ahead of Zhou - who finishes the season third overall in the🌄 drivers’ championship.

Drugovich, Pourchaire and Shwartmzan com♚plete the ꦜtop five, with the Russian ending the season as vice-champion behind teammate Piastri.

Dan Ticktum continued his impressive run of consistent results with sixth - his final race in the series before making the switch t✅o Formula E.

Marcus Armstrong was on the alternate strategy as well and finished seventh ahead of Juri Vips, Ralph Boschung and Richard Verscꦯhoor.
