McLaren driver Oscar Piastri, who took his maiden pole position on Saturday, got a great start in Sunday's race to lead into the first corner, as Norris passed Russell for second.

Lando Norris has admitted his McLaren team will be “nervous” about the prospect of him going head-to-head with team-mate Oscar Piastri for the world championship. Norris, 25, and Piastri, 23, both have one victory each after the opening two rounds of the new Formula One season with McLaren holding an early advantage over their rivals.

Oscar Piastri won the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday and his teammate Lando Norris finished second in a dominant race for McLaren, while three drivers – including Lewis Hamilton – were later disqualified.
