Max Verstappen - The Canadian PressSHANGHAI — The Chinese Grand Prix could deliver some much-needed drama to Formula 1, meaning Red Bull's Max Verstappen can't be penciled in as the almost-certain winner on Sunday.
It's also the season's first with a Saturday sprint race, which means Friday's practice session was the only one of the weekend. Lando Norris of McLaren went on to win the pole for Saturday’s sprint race, running in a rainy session with drivers struggling to control their cars. Drivers spoke two weeks ago at the Japanese GP about their disquiet over the sprint in China. The track is located about 40 kilometers northwest of central Shanghai, visible on the distant horizon through a hazy smog on Friday.
The F1 sprints are about one-third the length of the regular GP. The top eight drivers earn points — eight for first place, seven for second, six for third, and so on.
