F1 NATION: Piastri impresses for McLaren as Hamilton and Leclerc get disqualified while Lawson struggles – it's our Chinese GP review
Share
China followed hot on the heels of Australia and delivered another McLaren win. But this time it was Oscar Piastri who tasted victory for the papaya team, reigniting hopes of an incredible season long intra-team fight with Lando Norris.
The F1 Nation crew are here to discuss Piastri’s masterclass, along with a whole host of other topics after a frantic weekend of action that also saw the Sprint return, and with it Lewis Hamilton’s pace as he got an early win on the board for Ferrari.
Podcast host Tom Clarkson is joined by F1 TV presenter Laura Winter and commentator Alex Jacques to tackle the big questions after the Chinese Grand Prix.
They run over Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly’s post-race disqualifications, while – by contrast – Haas surprised the paddock with a big points haul just days after being at the back of the field in Melbourne.
