Piastri’s season start goes from bad to worse with both McLarens out of Chinese GP

Antonelli has a very healthy seven-second buffer, so let’s be honest.

The most exciting part of this race right now is the battle between the two Ferraris. On Lap 36, Leclerc locked up into the hairpin, and Hamilton went through to snatch P3.

It remains unclear if Ferrari will step in and tell the two drivers to preserve their own places. However, this early in the championship, they’re likely to let them race.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports have told viewers Fernando Alonso retire the car because he was starting to “lose feelings in his hands”.

At the Australian Grand Prix, new team principal Adrian Newey said vibrations from the car have been transmitting to the drivers’ fingertips and the drivers were “at risk of nerve damage”.
