Responding to a question, Sainz suggested that Verstappen and Red Bull are so dominant that the season might already be over after just four of 24 races. “It’s still a very long season,” he said. “I don’t want to think about the rest of the season too much.” Verstappen, who now has 57 career wins, pushed his season points total to 77 and is 13 clear of Perez on 64. Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc follows with 59 with Sainz on 55.

An F1 sprint race will also be run in China a day before the GP, cutting down practice time on an unfamiliar track. “I think it’s not great,” Verstappen said. “When you have been away from a track for quite a while, you never know what you’re going to experience. It would have been better to have a normal race weekend.”
