Many pole favorites
There should be some favorites for the qualifying for Sunday. Lando Norris should want to rehabilitate according to the previous mistakes and Oscar Piatri is also one of the pole candidates in the second McLaren. You also have to consider the sprint pole winner Hamilton and Max Verstappen.

Tire wear becomes the subject
It is also clear after the sprint: tire mining will become a big topic this weekend. On the new asphalt in China, the teams got almost all problems and fought with enormous tire wear. In particular, those who were involved in duels or drove in traffic could quickly do nothing. Lando Norris also felt that. The McLaren pilot had slipped back to ninth after a weak qualifying and a mistake at the start and could do little from there. The tires were quickly over and more than position eight did not jump out for him.

Hamilton wins in the sprint
A few hours ago, Lewis Hamilton made his first win in Ferrari in the sprint. From the pole, Hamilton gets away strongly on the first meters and sets off directly from pursuers Verstappen. The Red Bull Pilot comes to Hamilton briefly to the middle of the racing, but Verstappen quickly pays the price for it: his tires build, he is overhauled a little later by Oscar Piatri and falls back to third place. Hamilton can then break away and celebrate the victory confidently.
