Max Verstappen secured his fourth win of the season after taking top honours in the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday.
Intervention of the safety car did little to upset the reigning champion winning the first Chinese Grand Prix since 2019.Max Verstappen rounded off a dominant weekend with victory in the first Chinese Grand Prix for five years on Sunday to extend his world championship lead, a day after romping to sprint victory.
Verstappen was only denied a maximum 34 points for the weekend when Fernando Alonso pipped him to the fastest lap after a late tyre change. “Those kind of weekends are amazing to feel and to achieve what we did this weekend is fantastic,” added Verstappen, who won for the first time in China. “It really cost us quite a bit. Fighting like that, the life of the tyre goes off dramatically,” said Perez.
McLaren’s Oscar Piastri was eighth, chased home by Lewis Hamilton who clawed his way up to ninth from 18th on the grid and Nico Hulkenberg in 10th for Haas.
