    Oscar Piastri continued his strong run of form with a commanding victory in Sunday's Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, securing his third consecutive race win and extending his lead in the drivers' championship.

    McLaren's Oscar Piastri took pole position for Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix, edging Mercedes' George Russell by 0.082s to top Saturday's Qualifying session. A fresh layer of tarmac and warm and dry conditions contributed to a grippy surface at the Shanghai International Circuit, and Piastri's pole time of 1:30.641 was over three seconds quicker than Max Verstappen's benchmark from 2024.

    McLaren's Lando Norris survived changeable weather conditions and held off a late charge from Red Bull's Max Verstappen to take victory in an enthralling opening round of the 2025 Formula 1 World Championship on Sunday. In a wet-dry-wet race with three Safety Car deployments, Norris and teammate Oscar Piastri ran 1-2 for much of the event, but their 20-second advantage to Verstappen was wiped out when Fernando Alonso crashed his Aston Martin on lap 30 of 57.

Esteban Ocon hasn't had a happy start to 2024, with Alpine still pointless after five Grands Prix. I sat down with the Frenchman in Shanghai to discuss the problems with the A524, and what the future holds for him. https://t.co/F7dkayrERP https://t.co/2oJ52rVlXw
