George Russell remains the championship leader after finishing second at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Thanks to winning his first Formula 1 Grand Prix ever, Kimi Antonelli managed to cut the gap to Russell in the drivers' standings. However, the British driver still has a four-point lead.
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.
