Smiles are back at Ferrari thanks to Lewis Hamilton who won the sprint race of the Chinese GP, the second race of the Formula 1 world championship held on the Shanghai circuit.
For the British driver, this is the first triumph in Ferrari. Behind him were Oscar Piastri on McLaren and the reigning world champion Max Verstappen on Red Bull. Fourth place for the Mercedes of George Russell, fifth the second Ferrari driven by Charles Leclerc. Seventh place for the Italian Andrea Kimi Antonelli, on Mercedes.
Hamilton, who started from pole position, thus redeems the disappointing tenth place obtained in the Australian GP in the first race of the season.

It was a great show to see Hamilton win in Ferrari, but I think there is still work to be done to improve the team's performance. Piastri and Verstappen did well, but the gap is still evident.
Yes, it is true that Hamilton had a good race, but I expect more from Leclerc in the future. Ferrari must maintain this momentum and not miss opportunities in the next GPs.
