What the teams said – Race day in China

Piastri was fairly untroubled as he recorded his third Grand Prix victory. A slightly slow start forced him to block Russell’s Mercedes into Turn 1, but from there he was able to build a lead over his team mate, who had picked off the Mercedes. That lead remained throughout the race, Piastri only ceding the lead in the pit stop period. Norris tried to challenge the Australian ahead, but lost time in the pit stops after picking up some traffic. He then had to contendwith a late brake issue, managing it until the final lap when he lost so much time he nearly lost P2.
