The 21-year-old held off a stiff challenge from championship leader Lewis Hamilton, who came second ahead of his Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas.

Sebastian Vettel was fourth in the other Ferrari, while Alexander Albon came fifth on his debut for Red Bull.

Leclerc dedicated the win to Formula 2 driver Anthoine Hubert, who was killed in a crash on Saturday.
