The Chinese Grand Prix was hardly a thriller but provided a clearer picture of the F1 pecking order in 2025.

McLaren were able to celebrate the 1-2 they missed in the season opener as the British squad underlined th🤪eir position as title favourites, but it wasn’t all smiles up and down the grid.

Here are our winners and losers from China.

Winner - Oscar Piastri

After a disappointing result at his home race last time out in Melbourne, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri got h𝓰is own title aspirations back on track in Shanghai.

The Australian led 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris home as he converted his maiden grand prix pole position into 🍬a calm and controlled victory. Piastri led from start to finish, only briefly losing first place during the pit stop phase.

It was a convincing w𓃲in for Piastri as he kept Norris at bay with a ma💮rgin of around four seconds for most of the race. The result moves Piastri to within 10 points of Norris’s championship lead, putting him right in title contention.

Loser - Ferrari

Ferrari had already endured a pretty bad day at the office, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton in no-man’s land and lacking the pace of their rivals as they finished fifth and sixth on th✨e road.

But Sunday turned into an absolute nightmare for Ferrari after the chequered flag, with 168澳洲幸运5官ꦇ方开奖结果历史:both Leclerc and Hamilton being disqualified from the final classification for separate technical infrℱingements.

Ferrari have lost 18 points as a result and have fallen to fifth place in the constructors’ ജchampionship behind Williams, to add further salt into ༺the wounds. They are now a whopping 61 points behind McLaren.

Winner - McLaren

McLaren maintained their 100 perc🍸ent winning start to the season with a dominant 1-2 having missed out on the same result in Australia.

The perfect result for ♔the Woking squad, despite the scare of Norris’s late brake drama, to strengthen their position at the top of the constructors’ championship. They lead Mercedes by 21 points.

McLaren’s manner of victory was emphatic and will act as a worryin💙g warning shot to the chasing pack.

Loser - Liam Lawson

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Liam Lawson’s future with R𒈔ed Bull is in jeopardy after his dire start to the season c🐲ontinued in China.

The 23-year-old Kiw🐬i qualified last in both qualifying sessions at the Chinese Grand Prix and could only recover to 15th on tꩵhe road after starting Sunday’s grand prix in the pitlane as Red Bull experimented with a “radical” set-up.

It appears Lawson is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:already at risk of being axed, with Red Bull not ruling out an immediate driver swap - most likely with168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Yuki Tsunoda - before the next race in Japan.

Winner - George Russell

It was another great drive from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell as he onceꦆ again got the m🌊ost out of his Mercedes, which didn’t have the pace to challenge the dominant McLaren duo.

Russell was ahead of Norris after t🎃🍎he only round of pit stops, but could not prevent his fellow countryman powering past as he had to settle with the final spot on the podium for the second week running.

It was so nearly P2 for Russell♍, who claimed he would have overtaken t🎶he ailing Norris at the end if the race was just fractionally longer.

Loser - Racing Bulls

Just like♓ in Australia, 🅺Racing Bulls come away from the weekend rueing another big missed opportunity.

Both 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Isack Hadjar and Tsunoda stated inside the top-10 after brilliant qualifyiꦰng laps, but a two-stop strategy backfired, leaving them outside of the points.

Tsunoda finished last aft💜er a bizarre front wing failure forced him to make an unscheduled third visit to the pits, compounding a miserable race.

Winner - Haas

Ha💙as came away from China as huge winners following Ferrari’s dou💦ble disqualification.

The team had already enjoyed a great race, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon taking seventh and F1 rookie168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Ollie Bearman charging up to 10th, but both would gain a furt💝her two places thanks to the post-race exclusions.

As a result of their 14-point haul, Haas have lea🉐pfrogged ahead of Aston Martin and up to seventh in the constructors’ standings.

Loser - Alpine

Alpine are now the only team yet to score a point in 2025, having come away from China eღmpty-handed.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan had a poor grand prix, picking up a 10-second penalty for his overzealous defending aga𒀰inst Hadjar, while he collected four penalty points over the single weekend.

Teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Pierre Gasly fared better on Sunday, finishing 11th on the road. But the Frenchman was disqualified post-race after🐼 his Alpine car was found to be💯 underweight.

It has been a hugely disappointing start to the season for the French squad, who considered thems෴elves front-of-the-midfield challengers before a wheel was turned.

Winner - Alex Albon

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Albon produced a brilliant qualifying lap to secure a top-10 starting position, which he converted into a strong ninth on the road in China. That would become sꦛeventh following the disqualifications for Ferrari.

It was a fantastic and measured drive from Albon, who is rising to the challenge of having four-time grand prix winner168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Carlos Sainz as his new teammate.

It turned out to be a great day for Williams on the whole, with Sainz promoted up to 10th, giving the team another precious point which 🦹lifts them above Ferrari in the constructors’ championship.

Loser - Fernando Alonso

It has been a pretty woeful start to the season for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso, wh🏅o completed just four laps in Shanghai before a brake problem hit, forcing him into retirement.

Alonso has now failed to finish ♏the opening two grands prix of 2025 after crashing out🎀 of the season opener in Melbourne.

Had Alonso not experienced his race-ending issue, he could well have scored decent points thanks to the post-race exclusions, which promoted Aston Martin teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll up to P9.
