The German won the first Grand Prix after more than a year's pause: he won his previous victory in August 2018 in Belgium. The German started third, but due to successful tactics at the pit stop, he took the lead and kept the first position.

Second place was taken by Vettel's partner Charles Leclerc of Monaco, who started from pole position. The third was the Dutchman Max Verstappen from Red Bull. Mercedes team drivers Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas finished only 4th and 5th.

Russian Toro Rosso driver Daniil Kvyat had an unsuccessful race and finished 15th. The place of the Russian racer was affected by a collision with Alfa Romeo's Kimi Raikkonen, as a result of which the Finn came down and the Russian rolled back down. Kvyat's partner, Frenchman Pierre Gasly, had a powerful race and finished 8th.

The best lap was shown by Danish Haas pilot Kevin Magnussen, who finished outside the top ten. Points at the end of the Grand Prix were also scored by:
6. Alexander Albon, Red Bull;
7. Lando Norris, McLaren;
9. Nico Hulkenberg, Renault;
10. Antonio Giovinazzi, Alfa Romeo.
