Chaos strikes at the Chinese GP: Hamilton, Leclerc, and Gasly disqualified; Piastri claims first win

The Chinese Grand Prix has been full of drama, leaving fans in disbelief and sending shockwaves through the paddock. After a chaotic weekend, the biggest story emerged during post-race checks: Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, and Pierre Gasly were all disqualified from the event.

Hamilton had initially celebrated a sprint race victory, but it was later revoked due to his rear skids falling below the required thickness. Leclerc and Gasly faced disqualification for being under the 800kg minimum weight limit. This unexpected turn of events has left Ferrari and Mercedes reeling, particularly after a weekend filled with promise.

On the other hand, McLaren had a reason to celebrate, as Oscar Piastri not only secured his first win of the season but also set a new Shanghai lap record with a dominant performance. Teammate Lando Norris fought valiantly to claim second place, while George Russell rounded out the podium. However, the disqualifications after the race overshadowed what could have been a thrilling finish.
