The Chinese Grand Prix gave us a lot to talk about this week!🏁 In this episode of Pink Paddock Club, we’re breaking down a huge weekend in Shanghai, including a historic first win for Kimi Antonelli, who took victory for Mercedes at just 19 years old. The teenager not only grabbed his first ever F1 win, but also became the second-youngest race winner in Formula 1 history, and the first Italian driver to win a Grand Prix since 2006. Pretty insane weekend for the kid. Mercedes locked out a 1–2 finish with George Russell coming home in second, while Lewis Hamilton grabbed his first podium with Ferrari, finishing P3 ahead of Charles Leclerc. But the race wasn’t short on chaos either. Several big names never even made it to the start, including both McLarens (Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri) who were out with technical issues before the race began. We also saw Max Verstappen retire mid-race with gearbox problems, shaking up the results even more. We’re getting into all of it! Kimi's moment, Mercedes’ dominance, Ferrari finally on the podium, and the weekend that completely fell apart for some of the biggest teams on the grid. If you watched the race, you already know… there’s a lot to unpack.
