Oscar Piastri led Lando Norris to make McLaren dominant one-two in the Chinese Grand Prix ahead of George Russell’s Mercedes. The Australian was rarely more than four seconds ahead of Norris, led from pole and lost first place only briefly in the period around the leaders’ only pit stops. Norris was struggling with fading brakes in the closing laps but had enough of an advantage to hold Russell to third position. Max Verstappen finished fourth. Charles Leclerc drove an outstanding race in a Ferrari with a damaged front wing, his pace forcing Ferrari to order team-mate Lewis Hamilton out of his way.

The next Grand Prix is in Suzuka, Japan on 6^th April.
