The 2026 F1 season kicked off with the Australian Grand Prix on 8 March. Mercedes converted a front-row lockout into a 1-2 finish with George Russell taking the first victory of the year. The Briton continued his success with a win in the Chinese sprint race.

Russell's team-mate Kimi Antonelli will start the Chinese Grand Prix from pole position. "For the first time in a long time, I felt comfortable to push them more and more after every set," Antonelli told Sky Sports F1.

"I struggled a bit with the balance. It was very weird in Q2, the amount of understeer that appeared in the car, and we couldn't really fix it in Q3 as well. So I struggled a little bit there and had to make a lot of adjustments during the lap just to help a bit the balance, but it was a clean lap.

"Of course, it would have been interesting to see George with a second set, but I think it would have been fairly close between us two, but yeah, I'm happy with the result and a big opportunity tomorrow."
