Catch up on all the Saturday action from China, as the new Formula One season rolled into Shanghai for round two

In 2021, F1 drivers received three points for winning the sprint, two for finishing second, and one for coming in third. As this offered little to no incentive to put cars on the line for drivers in the midfield, this was altered in 2022 to the rewards system, which remains in place this year.

This was very much the high point of Ferrari's weekend. Both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were disqualified from the race results, Leclerc due to his car being 1 kg underweight and Hamilton for having worn away too much of the wooden "legality plank" underneath the car, which is a telltale sign that the car is running too close to the ground.
