Kimi Antonelli almost ruined everything! He set the fastest lap of the race in China on lap 53 and then went off the track! At that moment George Russell managed to close the gap to seven and a half seconds, but the young Italian driver still managed to secure the first victory of his career in the end.
After becoming the youngest pole position holder in history, he has now, at 19 years and 6 months, become the second youngest Formula 1 race winner behind Max Verstappen.
He managed to defend his pole position and left his teammate behind, as well as two Ferraris. Lewis Hamilton stepped onto the podium as third, while Charles Leclerc finished fourth. This was also a big day for Lewis Hamilton, who climbed onto the podium after almost two years.
The British also had plenty of success as Oliver Bearman reached fifth place, climbing from tenth position at the start. Liam Lawson also jumped from 14th position to seventh, while Carlos Sainz from 17th place
We also saw several crashes and off-track incidents, so among those who did not finish the race were Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso, while Oscar Piastri and Lando Norris did not even start due to a technical failure.
