Chinese GP review: Piastri stakes title claim as Ferrari’s weekend falls flat with double DQ (ad-free)
Added 2025-03-23 17:49:24 +0000 UTCEdd Straw is joined by Jon Noble and Scott Mitchell-Malm to dissect the Chinese Grand Prix, in which Oscar Piastri showed his title credentials with an impressive victory ahead of McLaren team-mate Lando Norris.
Edd, Scott and Jon (with help from Mark Hughes!) discuss how Piastri made the race his, unpick the brake issue that hampered Norris, and outline why Saturday's impressive sprint winner - Lewis Hamilton - was disqualified from the race, along with Ferrari team-mate Charles Leclerc and Alpine's Pierre Gasly.
There's also chat about Liam Lawson's perilous position at Red Bull, Haas's surprise turn of pace, and Alex Albon's strong start to the year, plus the guys answer another bumper crop of questions from The Race Members' Club.

It's always worth the effort - for most races we tend to think of it as being important to be there for the morning commute, or dog-walk or whatever everyone is doing in Europe, but the advantage of the races like China is we can have it out for Sunday evening in Europe. Thanks for making the effort worthwhile!

2025-03-23 22:27:49 +0000 UTCi think it was in the Racing Bulls section Scott said something to the effect of “they wouldn’t be the midfield team i’d pick to nab a surprise result” but which team would you pick for that right now? Williams i guess?
