Hamilton Secures First Ferrari Triumph
Lewis Hamilton put on a commanding performance in the F1 Chinese Grand Prix sprint, securing his maiden win in Ferrari red. The British driver controlled the pace from the outset, initially fending off a challenge from Max Verstappen before pulling clear.
The seven-time world champion managed his tyres superbly, eventually opening up a comfortable six-second lead over Oscar Piastri, who overtook Verstappen as the Dutchman struggled with degradation.
Elsewhere, it was a nightmare race for McLaren’s Lando Norris, who tumbled down to ninth on the opening lap. He struggled with grip throughout and could only recover one position to finish eighth.
George Russell crossed the line in fourth, followed closely by Charles Leclerc in fifth. Yuki Tsunoda impressed with a stellar drive to take sixth, beating Mercedes rookie Kimi Antonelli.
