Alex Kalinauckas and Ronald Vording wrap up their coverage of the 2025 Chinese Grand Prix as McLaren dominated proceedings with its 50th 1-2 finish, as Oscar Piastri took victory ahead of Lando Norris.
Alex gives a review of the action, why he agreed with Piastri calling it his "most complete" weekend in F1 and how the race converted into a one-stopper. Also discussed is the link between the strategy change in the race and both Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly being disqualified for their cars being underweight, and Lewis Hamilton's disqualification for an over-worn skid block.
There's also a big explainer from Ronald on Liam Lawson's future with Red Bull after another poor showing, and whether the series as a whole could switch to V10s in 2028, and what it could mean for the regulation change next year.
