As has been the case since the start of the season, the driver who took pole position - in this instance, Maximilian Gunther (Maserati) - did not win the race. Instead, the German finished third, ahead of the Penske DS entries of Stoffel Vandoorne and Vergne.
A few hours earlier, qualifying delivered the names of the favourites. At the end of Groups A and B, the four cars in the Stellantis group were in the running - Gunther and Edoardo Mortara for Maserati, and Vandoorne and Vergne for DS Penske.
