Race Highlights | 2024 Chinese Grand Prix

The

race

in Shanghai begins at the time of the Five Lights, the Chinese Grand Prix is ​​underway and Max V staffen dives, kneels to cross Sergio Pérez. Fernando Alonzo, do you feel brave to sweep the outside of the Mexican driver? He makes the jump at this moment. It's the grip there Alonzo is being very brave but the grip is running out he has the inside line he has second position he passes to Pérez while Stappen has the lead but look at the traction Alonzo has fighting the car it's for staff Alonzo then Pérez were on board with fourth place Lando Norris was just working really hard to get those tires to life in warm up but the commitment and confidence he had on the outside of turn one paid off, it was amazing, I thought I'd take a look .

P1 for a minute too, oh that really was an aggressive start by the driver of the green Aston Martin. Lando Norris chasing Perez. Perez didn't enjoy running in the group before and if you're thinking, who is that in the house? Nico hulkenberg went up two places bad escape for both Ferraris lir down to eighth SS down to ninth the team is trying to warm up the tires trying to make overtakes, as now we see a great opportunity for charlot Clair trying to make up for the loss of places on the line and makes the pass to turn 14, passes Hulkenberg, who is in eighth SS, trying to also accompany Hulkenberg on the inside in the final corner that will compromise his exit and science would do well to clear the H as soon as possible maybe turn one here, let's see, it slipstreams out of the building up to 200 mph.

DRS is now enabled, but the SS didn't have to wait. Hulkenberg knows his fight isn't with Marinello's cars. It seems that Alonzo is pushing his tires much harder than us, this is good, this is good news, there will be some defense on Fernando Alonzo's part or he has to think about the long game and Sergio Pérez advances and retakes second place in the Grand Prize, so here we go with the young British driver Lando Norris tries to pass the oldest driver in the field, Fernando Alonso, concentrating on the

race

again, park at the Apex, he tried it on the return to the ridge and Lando Norres takes third place.

This is so important to lir. he tries to make the pass early using one of the DRS zones. How brave he feels now that the move is not made yet, but he makes the pass, closes the door and takes the long way to take sixth place. Ah, now there is an opportunity for the Ferrari that took a while to get out of the slipstream, but that is another position gained by the man from Monaco thanks to Charlotte Clair, he is in fifth place and is chasing Fernando Alonzo, here is our race leader, Max, alone, while Pérez actually enters. he is so far ahead that Red Bull can double the stack, don't even worry about it, he is so impressive with Red Bull 2.1 and two stops in a row.

Problem for Valy Botas. He had been having a good weekend. He was fighting for points, but still. can't find its way into the top 10, luckily for Norris he'll take the 8C benefit you get for pitting under the VSC's 15 second loss instead of 23 and the full safety car is out, they can't move that car because to this man's retirement and in the field we come with Max vapen and Pérez has been called up at Red Bull he will have to double the stack once again Pérez is going to lose track position here so Norris moves up to second place, he will change to you on the left side and Pérez falls now Alonzo enters the pits.

Can I get out before the Mexican driver can get to the safety car line? I think he's going to do it and they overtake him, so it's to stab Norris and Charir while Perez rejoins. here we are going to close for everyone oh contact in the back between ride and I think Ricardo like Max to stappen yes, hulkenberg goes up Ricardo goes down it was a disaster at The Hairpin the green flag flies once again at the Shanghai International and it's a big restart for V stappen, this was in the head, oh that's ridiculous, it's a big hit on the back of Daniel Ricardo to walk, who then had to pit.

This is what it looked like on board, they just hit him, so he walked, he hoped to return. to the points today and I had a good turn in the bottom for one of the vabs ​​and there you go oh that's very disappointing for Yuki Coda who is finding success and that will require more intervention that car seems to be having problems in the back part. Magnuson on board we have seen before that there is contact damage on the left front for Magnuson's pickguard, perhaps more so for Yuki Coda. This is on board the Japanese driver and this was against Carlos SS and that is the fully functioning soft tire that caused. chaos, but once he turned it on it is a very effective tire and passed the sights, this time it takes two the pass to ride, who can pass ah Magnuson leaves one wheel inside and somehow they manage to turn the corner, the ride leaves the birth widest possible.

And this is a really cool one to fight for the last place on the road because Daniel Ricardo has pitted and we are breaking up the whole order, but we ride around in the green Aston Martin and Magnuson is back ahead for the moment. It's like you're in The Hairpin or it's late, Monday time, for the Canadian pilot to get to the Apex first. Will that be the pass? Oh, they are inviting us to a big battle in which Magnuson does not want to give up the place. up and will continue this January. I have to bring you now, this is our new vov dejon, isn't it a turn of the wheel to the action swapping places at every corner?

Here comes Magnuson again on the outside and this time the elbow is outside. to claim the place and this is the move of Pérez trying to pass Char clir canair places the Ferrari to be able to counterattack it's going to be close between these two side by side they go no Pérez gets ahead Alonzo can take that soft tire no further and they felt the need to roll the dice, but it wasn't worth it, these two weren't on the friendliest of terms, former teammates at the end of their time together and he's just going to love making the move as quickly as possible, man, that one It's a quick address. change and that is as fast as possible and it will not be a competition with new tires with DRS set the place to get rid of the soft ones that he put in the mediums and another place was won by Fernando Alonso who is behind Lewis Hamilton who is up 10 places in this moment oh, he almost fell off the gravel and made expensive signs since yesterday Alonzo so close to the barrier and out of the race how he has done it at 42 years of age but still providing box office moments Fernando Alonzo passes Lewis Hamilton and up to eighth position, everything could have ended a few corners ago, in turn 14 of The Hairpin, another position gained and up to seventh position for the first time in his career.

Max vapen crosses the line to take victory in Shanghai, his 58th victory in Formula 1. and he has once again destroyed the field the Dutchman brings home Lando Norris two Red Bulls on the podium thanks to Sergio Pérez and a first victory in Shanghai for Max Nappen who extends his lead in the drivers' championship
