Max Verstappen powered to another dominant win in Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix, as Lewis Hamilton complained his car was “slow” and “broken” after he finished ninth.
]Verstappen emerged unscathed from two safety car periods to secure his 38th win from the last 49 staged in Formula One on his unstoppable march towards a fourth straight championship. But for Hamilton, now 50 races and 868 long days without a victory, this marked another sobering afternoon in his uncompetitive Mercedes.
McLaren’s Lando Norris delivered an impressive performance to finish second – his best result of the season so far – one place ahead of Verstappen’s Red Bull team-mate Sergio Perez, with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz fourth and fifth for Ferrari. George Russell was sixth.
