Entering the weekend, Verstappen led the Drivers' Championship with 125 points, nine ahead of Leclerc in second and fifteen ahead of Sergio Pérez in third. Red Bull Racing led Ferrari by 36 points and Mercedes by 101 points in the Constructors' Championship.
Qualifying on 11 June was delayed fifteen minutes — pushed back from 18:00 to 18:15 — as a consequence of an earlier delay to practice, which had itself been postponed to allow barrier repairs following a crash in the Formula 2 support race. Q1 featured a red flag after Lance Stroll locked up at turn 7, reversed, then struck the barrier again at turn 2 at considerably higher speed, breaking his front wing and front-right suspension. Fernando Alonso went straight on at turn 15 near the end of Q1, causing yellow flags that prevented other drivers from completing flying laps; Alexander Albon publicly accused Alonso of going off deliberately, which Alonso denied. In Q2, Sebastian Vettel locked up at turn 15 but continued without damage, while Lando Norris also went straight at the same corner and was eliminated after the mistake cost him his lap.
Charles Leclerc took pole position by three tenths of a second from Sergio Pérez, ahead of Verstappen, Carlos Sainz Jr., George Russell, Pierre Gasly, Lewis Hamilton, Yuki Tsunoda, Vettel, and Fernando Alonso.
The race started at 15:00 local time. Leclerc locked up his front-left tyre into turn 1 on the opening lap, allowing Pérez to take the lead. On lap 9, Sainz pulled into the run-off at turn 4 with a hydraulics failure, triggering the virtual safety car. Most of the grid, including Leclerc, pitted; the Red Bulls of Verstappen and Pérez chose to stay out. On lap 15, Verstappen passed Pérez into turn 1 to take the lead. When Pérez pitted on lap 17, a problem with the rear-right wheelgun produced a slow stop that allowed Leclerc to pass him in the pit lane exit. Verstappen pitted two laps later and was able to overcut his teammate, rejoining ahead of Pérez.
On lap 21, Leclerc's car began emitting smoke on the main straight from a power unit problem and he retired from third place. Zhou Guanyu also retired two laps later with a hydraulics issue. A second virtual safety car was deployed on lap 31 when Kevin Magnussen's car produced smoke and he stopped just before turn 15; most of the remaining field pitted for fresh tyres.
Lewis Hamilton overtook Pierre Gasly for fourth on lap 45. On lap 48, Lance Stroll was called in to retire due to high oscillations on his car. Nicholas Latifi received a ten-second stop-and-go penalty for a grid infringement at the race start and an additional five-second penalty for ignoring blue flags.
Verstappen won the race with Pérez second — a Red Bull one-two. George Russell took third for Mercedes, with Hamilton fourth and Gasly fifth. Sebastian Vettel, Fernando Alonso, Daniel Ricciardo, Lando Norris, and Esteban Ocon completed the top ten.
Leclerc's retirement was his third mechanical failure in the first eight races and proved costly. He fell from second to third in the Drivers' Championship behind Pérez, while Verstappen extended his lead to 21 points. The result reinforced the reliability deficit Ferrari were suffering relative to Red Bull at that stage of the 2022 season, a pattern that continued to shape the title fight.
