Formula-1 Stage in China: Main Events, the brightest moments, heroes and disappointment Formula 1

The fans of Formula-1 did not have time to move away from the incredible Grand Prix of Australia, as immediately the « Queen of Motor Sports » dropped the Grand Prix of China.

Shanghai’s stage was the first to organize a sprint race this season, which has already made the weekend so special. Like a week ago, we have prepared a short translation of the most interesting events of the past three days.

Thank you for everything, Eddie

Unfortunately, the whole Chinese stage was clouded by tragic news: at the age of 76 after the fight against cancer Eddie Jordan died.

The Irishman was far from the average personality for the history of the vehicle. After a short racing career, he created his own team F1, which over 14 years of existence gave a chance to prove himself to many outstanding riders, among which, of course, Michael Schumacher stands out.

When Jordan’s death was known, all of the formula-1 (and not only) expressed their respect and gratitude to Eddie for his influence on sports and their lives. In a sense, Jordan was a cult for F1 personality, and such people are very much needed by everyone and everywhere.

Hamilton’s debut success

For many, Lewis Hamilton’s adaptation in Ferrari and all its traditions (in direct and figurative sense) was almost key. Someone skeptically treated this union and someone like President Fia and Skuderia’s exclusive Stefano Domenicalibelieved in the success of the British in red.

The first stage of the season It turned out to be specific, so he could not give a specific answer. It is clear that all this is more work on the long, but in China, Sir Lewis reminded himself of the former.

The victory in the qualification of the sprint can always be explained by the problems of rivals and one strong circle of hema. But during the race itself, the seven -time world champion did not give anyone a chance to win him.

Hamilton in the best traditions of himself Mercedes’s time spent the perfect arrival and He won his debut victory as part of Ferrari. Yes, it was only a sprint, not a full-fledged Grand Prix, in which Lewis, as it turned out, had no chance of success, but also well.

Louson is approaching the release

Before the start of the season We wondered whether Liam Louson could break the curses of the second pilot Red Bull. Apparently, it is far from power.

No one expected that the New Zealander would fight Max Ferstapppen. Everyone understood that if Liam was able to at least repeat the results of last year’s Sergio Perez, it would be nice. But no, everything turned out to be much worse. It is so worse that in Japan, Louson can say goodbye to a place in the Austrian team.

On the Internet, fans have already begun to apologize to Cheko for all the jokes and mockery that had spilled on him last year. Who knew that Louson would be able to « surpass » the results of the Mexican? Unless Yuki Tsunoda.

Regular failures and inability to squeeze something out of the car during the race will sooner or later cause Liam to become another victim of the Curse of the Second Palay, Red Bull.

Duen is not impressive, collapintto already at a low start

The son of a five-time MotoGP world champion Mick Duan can be safely considered the second contender for the loss of place in Formula-1.

Unlike Lawson, Jack Duan’s position was shaky Even before the start of the season. And, most likely, it plays its dirty role, affecting the confidence and results of the Australian.

Throughout the Chinese weekend, Jack had problems with everything. A few reversals, the strike of the name of the Suber in the sprint and the only fine for the entire Grand Prix among all pilots-this is the result of Duen’s speech in China. No one will be surprised if Flavio Briator soon has an idea with the replacement of Franco Colapintto.

Pastri is amazing but is ready for the title?

The China Grand Prix again confirmed the fears of the fans that this year no one will be able to compete with McLaren. And even if it happens, we will be able to observe the battle for the title of two young riders.

After the catastrophe at home, Oscar Pastri spent almost the perfect weekend. The second place in sprint, the first pole in the career and the third victory is a very good result, isn’t it?

As in the case of Hamilton in the sprint, there was no idea about who finishes the first. While in Lando Norris was the fight against George Russell and Pedalle Brake, Pastri in comfortable mode He brought a team double (by the way, the 50th in the history of « Papaya ») and early claims to the championship title.

Ferrari’s « Stage: Old Bono Habits

Everyone realized that sooner or later it would happen. And it happened.

Hamilton Peter’s perennial racing engineer « Bonnington » over the last 13 (!) Years used to pronounce the phrases that have become iconic in the fanatic environment (« It`s Hammertime » and « Get in there, Lewis »).

And he uttered them, addressing Lewis. Therefore, it was unlikely that anyone was surprised when Bono called Andrea Kimi Antonelli Lewis. The habit of taking it …

Lewis, charles is faster than you

During the Grand Prix of China, Ferrari decided to the first candid command order, asking Lewis Hamilton to pass a forward of Charles a Lecler with a broken anterior anticaril (which Monegask broke through contact with Lewis at the start).

The British did not execute the order for some time, arguing that the partner should come closer to him. But the racing engineer still managed to persuade Lewis to give the position of Charles.

The Lecler, by the way, really went faster than the champion and even tried to go through George Russell. But after a successful sprint, Ferrari disappointed. Hamilton of the only group of leaders called on the second sweat-stop, through which he missed Max Ferstappen. A little later, the Dutchman passed a lecturer who was decided not to change the damaged wing. As a result: all the same 5 and 6 positions as at the start, only the partners changed in places.

It should be noted that after the appearance of Hamilton in the team, Lecler became more annoying. He is afraid that Sir Lewis will take away the status of the main star of Skuderia. Well, and although Monegask was finished above the partner, it was the British who brought Ferrari the first victory in the season and the first victory in the sprint for the whole time.

Aston Martin’s suffering

The pre -season forecast for Aston Martin is coming down and it can be safely stated that the team drains the season for the future prospects of the new regulation under the influence of Edrian News.

It is not noticeable that stagnation, but the regression of the British. A couple of years ago, Fernando Alonso brought the car to the podium in hope even for victory. Last year, AM rolled up to the fifth force of the championship, and this season is still worse.

Alonso has two stairs for two races, the result of Lance Saint in Australia should not be taken seriously given all the events that happened then. China, where the Canadian finished 12th, became more indicative, giving way to both Haasam and Williams Alex Albon.

In general, in 2025 it is not necessary to expect from Aston Martin nothing good. The team will just reach the season, and there will already turn out. Unfortunately, such realities of formula-1.

HAS rehabilitation

That’s whoever was surprised, so this is Haas. And it cannot be said that double points in China’s Grand Prix have become a coincidence.

After Australia’s catastrophic stage Everyone in the American team recognized that there were many problems that they would try to deal with the weekend in Shanghai.

Well, they clearly turned out. And it is worth noting both pilots. Esteban Okon became the real leader of the team, not feeling the pressure of either the partner or the leadership, as it was in Alpin.

And Oliver Berman fully and fully deserve the title of a racer of the day. Starting from the 17th position, the young Briton finished tenth, only five seconds from the ninth albon and at twelve-from the seventh partner. A very decent result. But now the main thing is to fix it with successful work in the future. So we will see how the American team will handle it, but the potential of the car is definitely.

DLC: Triple Disqualification

After the steward racing, Ferrari and Alpin representatives summoned to discuss the problems that have arisen. As it turned out, these very problems were significant.

While weighing Charles Lecler’s and Pierre of the slogan, they overcome the minimum permissible value led to their disqualification and cancellation of results. The same thing happened with Lewis Hamilton, who had a strongly erased bar on the bottom of the car.

This is not the most successful Grand Prix of China ended for Skuderia with a real disaster in the form of a loss of 18 points. The disqualification of the slogan struck on the climbing far not so much-Pierre finished outside the top 10.
