Chinese Grand Prix

Heading into today’s Formula One race, we’d forgive fans for assuming the final finishing order. The first half of the race even played into these expectations — but the second half was utter chaos.

So far, the 2018 Formula One season has featured its fair share of surprises. Qualifying for tomorrow’s Chinese Grand Prix did not present many, however. For the third time this season, Sebastian Vettel starts on the front row for Ferrari.

Lewis Hamilton controlled from the front as he took the checkered flag at the 2017 Formula 1 Heineken Chinese Grand Prix on an afternoon of mixed conditions and mixed fortunes. Hamilton and his Mercedes team are back to winning ways after converting yesterday’s pole position into a convincing win to set up what looks to be a titanic battle between themselves and Ferrari for the 2017 titles.

Fans tuning into the qualifying for the second round of the 2017 Formula One season may have had a sense of deja vu earlier today, as a familiar pecking order began to shake out at China’s Shanghai International Circuit.
