It was from pole position that the Dutchman launched into the 56-lap showdown, swiftly establishing a lead that would see him mostly unchallenged, even amidst the unfolding drama behind him. The race wasn’t without its hurdles, notably when Valtteri Bottas’ mechanical mishap off-track triggered a Safety Car intervention midway through. This was soon followed by further incidents down the field, prompting the Safety Car’s re-deployment. Through it all, Verstappen secured his inaugural win at the Shanghai International Circuit with a mix of elation and relief.

Formula 1 2024 Chinese Grand Prix Recap

IN Formula 1, 2024, Chinese, China, Grand Prix, Recap

Max Verstappen described his weekend at the Chinese Grand Prix as “amazing” after clinching a victory in Sunday’s race.


It was quite the spectacle, with Verstappen elegantly climbing the ranks over 19 laps, leaving his rivals clearly behind. This year's revised format meant that Friday’s Sprint Qualifying dictated the grid for this 100km dash, dishing out points to the top eight finishers. Norris had initially grabbed pole in a dramatic, rain-affected session, closely followed by a trio of world champions - Hamilton, Alonso, and Verstappen - boasting an impressive twelve world titles among them.

If I’m honest, I never really liked the Huracán when it first came out. I’ve always felt that it was overshadowed by the shock and awe that came with the Aventador, and it just felt like the “replacement” for the outgoing Gallardo. That prejudice changed the day I went for the Huracán Spyder launch back in 2015. There, I met up with a nice chap called Stephen Winklemann, who graciously showed me around the car. Never heard of him? Maybe you should brush up on your Lamborghini history.

I'm going to make a statement here that may offend some, but so be it. Only a soulless non-player character (NPC) could get into an Alfa Romeo - any Alfa Romeo - and not have a smile on their face, because the smile actually emanates from the heart. Such is the effect of Alfa Romeo's charismatic Italian cuore sportivo or sporting heart. And so it is with the Giulia Veloce. From the moment one lays eyes on it to the drive itself, you'll know that you're in the presence of something truly special. There's no other premium sedan in its price range that will put a similar smile in your heart and on your face. Nothing. Especially in the test car's bright Alfa White. Boy, does it turn heads. Esterno From the shield that hangs from the bumper's top to lower lip to the two 'wings' in a nod toward the days of Alfa Romeo Avio, this is a distinctly Alfa Romeo face. Adding to the front-end dramatics is a refreshed look courtesy of the new 'trilobe' matrix LED headlights which replace the xenon units of the pre-facelift version, and is definitely a welcome change. Those 'trilobes' also house sequential turn signals, and are a pretty sight to behold at night.
