The 2025 Chinese Grand Prix weekend saw Lewis Hamilton take his first win for Ferrari in Saturday's sprint before McLaren picked up maximum points in Sunday's race. View our gallery of images above.
McLaren's Oscar Piastri won Sunday's sprint, leading team-mate Lando Norris in a dominant 1-2 finish for the team while Mercedes's George Russell completed the podium once again.
Hamilton won the preceding day's sprint race from pole position for Ferrari, but Sunday saw the seven-time champion disqualified after the race for having too thin a rear skid plate. A similar fate befell team-mate Charles Leclerc, as well as Alpine's Pierre Gasly; neither of their cars met the minimum weight after the grand prix.
Red Bull's Max Verstappen finished fourth and Esteban Ocon took a stellar fifth place finish for Haas on Sunday - with rookie team-mate Ollie Bearman also scoring in 10th place.
Kimi Antonelli picked up points once again for Mercedes in sixth, ahead of Williams driver Alex Albon.
Lance Stroll finished ninth, although his team-mate Fernando Alonso retired from the race with brake issues, and Carlos Sainz rounded out the top 10 in the grand prix for Williams.
