George started on the dirty side of the grid and lost a position to Oscar Piastri, while Lewis made a fantastic start and moved up two places to P5.
As the race progressed, George made several attempts to pass the McLaren driver for second place, but Piastri defended hard and managed to hold on to P2. Just before the finish line, the two McLarens swapped positions, allowing Piastri to win the Sprint ahead of Lando Norris and George.
Lewis, meanwhile, had to defend against Charles Leclerc, who overtook him after a great wheel-to-wheel battle with a few laps to go, relegating him to P6.
The Sprint will be followed at 21:00 local time (18:00 GMT) by qualifying for tomorrow's Grand Prix.
