Why is redirect not happening?

Question

React

Good afternoon! The task is the following, with a successful request, you need to make a redirect, to solve this problem, I wrote this function:

const addNumberHandler = async () => {
        try {
            await axios.post('/newNumber/', obj, {
                headers: {
                    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
                }
            })
                .then(res => {
                    if (res.data.status === 201) {
                        return <Redirect to="/"/>;
                    }
                });
        } catch (e) {
            console.log(e);
        }
    }

The addition happens and the response from the server comes, but why doesn't the redirect work?
