Max Verstappen recorded a dominant victory in China, just as the Red Bull Racing driver had also won the sprint race with supremacy a day earlier. For F1 fans at home, it is apparently starting to become commonplace, as Verstappen was not rewarded by viewers with the 'Driver of the Day' title. That honour went to Lando Norris, who finished second with his McLaren, ahead of Sergio Perez's second Red Bull. GPblog asks who did you think was the best in the Chinese Grand Prix?
Norris indeed delivered a handsome performance. Although somewhat helped by the safety car procedures, the Briton ended up in second place; a position he managed to hold on to by setting similar lap times to Perez in what appeared to be a faster car. For Norris, this was the fifteenth podium, a win he has yet to achieve in Formula 1.
Further down the field, Nico Hulkenberg's performance also stood out. The German managed to grab his fourth point of the season. Still a handsome achievement for Hulkenberg and his modest Haas team, which is competing in the constructors' standings against Alpine, Williams and Stake F1. Those three teams are still waiting for their first points.
