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.

Readers familiar with this writer would know that I prefer wagons or estates to sedans. And so, writing with great glee, I'm thrilled to share with you that there will be a wagon version of the BMW 5 Series for this generation. This is the sixth BMW 5 Series Touring, born out of the eighth-generation 5 Series. Code-named G61, as opposed to the G60 sedan version, the official launch in Germany, many other European countries and Japan will begin in May 2024. Other markets are set to follow in June 2024. Compared to its predecessor, the new G61 is 97mm longer at 5,060mm, 32mm wider at 1,900mm and 17mm taller at 1,515mm. This 5'er Touring has the longest wheelbase in its class, increasing by 20 millimetres to 2,995 millimetres. For the first time, the 5'er Touring will be available as a battery electric vehicle (EV or BEV), and headlining the EV segment is the i5 M60 xDrive Touring.
