- First race at Mugello included a dangerous multi-car crash
- Valtteri Bottas second; Alexander Albon third
The result bore a familiar air but only after chaos and calamity had brought colour to the Tuscan Grand Prix. Lewis Hamilton emerged as the winner at Mugello with his Mercedes teammate, Valtteri Bottas, in second but only after the world champion had lost his lead, the race had been stopped twice – once for a major accident from which four drivers were exceptionally lucky to walk away unhurt – and no place through the field seemed assured until the chequered flag was waved.
Hamilton had made a statement before racing had even begun, wearing his Breonna Taylor T-shirt, but on track he had to repeatedly make his mark to maintain his control and composure in a race that endured three standing starts.
