Another day, another dominant Red Bull and Max Verstappen display in the Chinese Grand Prix sprint race and qualifying.
A reshuffle of Formula 1's rather Marmite sprint weekend format has now come to pass at the Chinese Grand Prix, as the sprint race - won by Max Verstappen, no less - moved to the morning rounds. Last year's arrangement of settling the grid on Friday for the grand prix offered the pleasing sibilance of Saturday sprint sessions, but at the detriment of the teams as they were already locked into parc ferme for the rest of the weekend.
Instead, Alonso's Aston Martin and the two McLarens acted as the buffer between the Red Bulls and Ferraris after qualifying. Sainz is correct in that, particularly in the sprint race, Ferrari held an advantage in the longer runs and the three teams are effectively arranged in reverse race-pace order. But they're separated by a couple of tenths.
