Formula 1: Verstappen Wins Enthralling Shanghai F1 Sprint Ahead Of Chinese Grand Prix
Shanghai F1 Sprint: Red Bull's Max Verstappen rose from fourth on the grid to take victory in Saturday's entertaining 2024 Formula 1 Sprint race in Shanghai, ahead of Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix main race.
Verstappen, the defending Drivers' Champion, had started only fourth after an error in Friday's wet qualifying session, and spent the opening laps of the Sprint in third, at one point complaining to his team about a lack of battery power. However, the Dutchman soon found his rhythm, closing up on and passing Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso for second on lap 7, before disposing of Lewis Hamilton for the lead two laps later after the Briton had lost time running wide at the Turn 15 hairpin.
From then on, Verstappen was not unduly troubled and ultimately crossed the line 13 seconds ahead of Mercedes' Hamilton, reports Xinhua.
