Formula 1 returned with a bang last weekend and Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix promises more high-octane action as the 2025 season motors on.

Lando Norris and McLaren landed the first blow with a dramatic victory over Red Bull's Max Verstappen at last weekend's rain-soaked Australian Grand Prix, but the Dutchman will be gunning for a response at the Shanghai International Circuit, where he picked up a dominant win last year.

Norris tops the Drivers' Championship charts after one race, while McLaren are locked with Mercedes at the top of the Contructors' Championship, thanks to third and fourth place finishes from George Russell and debutant Kimi Antonelli.

Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari must put a dismal start behind them as they look to prove their much-hyped union can be a successful one.

As if there weren't enough narratives heading into Sunday's Chinese Grand Prix, the first sprint weekend of the 2025 season means there will be maximum points available and even more racing to enjoy.
