Chinese Grand Prix: preview
After finishing second in yesterday’s Sprint, Lewis Hamilton starts today’s Chinese Grand Prix from the 18th slot on the grid. The Mercedes man’s fluctuating form was the main talking point of a Qualifying session that saw Max Veratappen and Sergio Perez lock out the front row for Red Bull, with Fernando Alonso, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri completing the front five.
It’s been a disappointing weekend for Ferrari so far, especially considering the pace the McLaren drivers have shown. Charles Leclerc starts in 6th, having taken five points yesterday, while Carlos Sainz is in 7th, four points better off after the Sprint.
Alonso’s drive came completely out of the blue, especially as Lance Stroll didn’t even get out of Q2. The Spaniard recently signed a contract extension with Aston Martin, and this was some way to repay their faith.
George Russell has struggled desperately, only managing to go marginally quicker than the Haas of Nico Hulkenberg and the Sauber of Valtteri Bottas, who complete the front 10. Daniel Ricciardo, meanwhile, made the most of his upgrades to outqualify Yuki Tsunoda for the first time this season.
