Thank you for listening to the late-breaking F-1 podcast.

Make sure to check out new episodes every Wednesday and every Sunday.

Hello and a very well welcome to the late breaking F1 podcast presented by Sam Sage and me, Ben Hocking. Not one but two sessions to review from the Chinese Grand Prix today. The sprint that

happened earlier on and the qualifying session that we have just witnessed a few moments ago, Sam. Two sessions to review. How are we going to do that? I reckon I'd have to cut the episode in half then. That's probably out of work, wait, don't you think? Yeah, it's almost like we've done this before. Shocking, isn't it? Yeah. It's not our first Sprint review going, but a sprint race and on qualifying. And unlike Ben, I stupidly woke up at

10 to 3 in the morning and then try to get back to sleep between the sessions. Won't complain,

though, because the times are so much better for us for the rest of the year. I promise, it's not a

problem. Yeah, yeah, we've just got Japan to get through and then we're very lucky.

I love waking up that early.

It's an improvement on Australia, so we're getting there.

Yeah, plenty to talk about with both sessions today.

Our first glimpse at what these regulations will look like in terms of a sprint race,

and then obviously getting back into qualifying the second qualifying session of the weekend.

And we'll go in chronological order, as we always do, on these sprint reviews.

So the sprint race that happened earlier on, George Russell, in a bit of a battle with the Ferrari drivers, particularly Lewis Hamilton.

But he is able to come out on top, leading home the two Ferraris,

LeCler in second, Hamilton and third.

Russell's teammate Antonelli a bit further back,

having to serve a penalty in the pits.

We'll discuss that in a moment.

But George Russell, just to start things off,

as we saw in Australia, the Ferrari's using their

advantage off the line and not plain sailing for Russell, even if it did end up in the victory.
