Lewis Hamilton took a brilliant lights to flag victory in the Chinese Grand Prix sprint race on Saturday in Shanghai, his first win in Ferrari red.

The seven-time world champion was challenged for the first half of the race by Max Verstappen, but the Dutchman fell back into the clutches of Oscar Piastri as his Red Bull's tyres started to degrade.

The Australian got past the reigning world champion into the penultimate corner with a few laps to go, but couldn't make any progress when it came to chasing down the famous number 44.

Lando Norris went wide early on in the race to lose a couple of places from his disappointing sixth-place grid slot, leaving him playing catch-up the the rest of the 19 lap race.

The British title challenger was complaining early about his tyre wear as he toiled behind Lance Stroll's Aston Martin, trying desperately to poach a single point for his championship battle, eventually passing the Canadian but only finishing eighth.
