After scoring his first Ferrari podium in Shanghai, Lewis Hamilton is now a single point behind Charles Leclerc.
Max Verstappen failed to score points today after he was asked by Red Bull Racing to return to the pit lane and retire his car. He is currently eighth in the standings with eight points.
