Half points will be awaꦇrded due to the𝕴 result being taken after just five laps of racing meaning Piastri will add 13.5 points to his tally going into Abu Dhabi next weekend.

The race was initially r☂educed to just 20 minutes plus one lap after a nasty incident on the opening lap betwꦅeen Theo Pourchaire and Enzo Fittipaldi.

T🍷he incid🦄ent occurred on Lap 1 when Pourchaire stalled his ART car from third on the grid.

Unsighted, Fittipaldi drove straight into the back of Pourchaire, forcingꩲ the FIA to𓆉 instantly red flag the race.

The FIA confirmed shortly after the race both drivers were taken to h🦩ospital.

After only six laps of racing, the race was red-flagged for a second time after Olli Caldwell lost control of his car at Turn ꦆ22, collecting Guilherme Samaia in t💯he process.

Piastri was already in the pits when the 𝓡race when the Safety C🌌ar was initially deployed, giving Prema teammate Robert Shwartzman the race lead.

As per FIA rules, the rac꧃e result is taken from the last completed race la꧋p.

This means Piastri takes t🤡he win ahead of Shwartzman and Campos’ Ralp💙h Boschung.

Going to Abu Dhabi, Piastri will have a 51♋.5 point lead over his teammate.
