Chinese Grand Prix results: Oscar Piastri wins as Lando Norris suffers 'critical' issue


Piastri Victorious in Chinese Grand Prix Thriller

Oscar Piastri triumphed in the Chinese Grand Prix, claiming his inaugural victory of the season after a compelling battle with McLaren teammate Lando Norris. Norris managed to secure second place despite encountering a critical brake problem, successfully defending against a late challenge from George Russell.

Dramatic Start to the Race

The race commenced with significant positional changes right from the start. Norris capitalized on an aggressive move by pole-sitter Piastri, overtaking Russell by maneuvering to the inside into the first corner.

Further back, Lewis Hamilton gained a position at the expense of Max Verstappen, while Charles Leclerc was compelled to brake sharply to avert a major collision with his Ferrari teammate. The contact with Hamilton resulted in front wing damage for Leclerc; however, this did not significantly hinder his pace as he relentlessly pursued his teammate for fourth position. At the forefront, Piastri withstood early pressure to maintain his lead.

Tyre Strategy Dominates Mid-Race

Tyre management became the defining factor during the central phase of the race. Piastri expertly managed his tyres, extending his advantage over the chasing pack. Russell initially gained track position over Norris through an undercut strategy during the pit stops, but the McLaren driver swiftly reclaimed his position on track.

In the latter stages, Hamilton conceded fourth place to Leclerc, allowing his teammate to target Russell ahead. Despite his efforts, the Ferrari driver could not close the gap to Russell sufficiently and ultimately lost ground to Verstappen.
