The Formula 1 SPRINT race this season Lewis Hamilton has seen the first Ferrari pole turned into a preliminary victory with his new team, ahead of Oscar Baysri and Max Versaben
Lewis Hamilton won for the first time in Formula 1 as a Ferrari driver. The British won his victory in the enemy race in the Chinese Grand Prix on Saturday, which represents his first victory in any form in his second race with the team.
Hamilton was qualified on the pole of the race, which he admitted was a sudden result. Last Sunday, in his first Ferrari race in the Australian Grand Prix, he was fighting for a pace and ended up completing the tenth place.
But in Shanghai Sun Chain, he and his car were alive, and as soon as he succeeded in stopping Max Verstaben at the beginning, there was no look back. Hamilton managed his tires wonderfully on the abrasive surface to ensure a very common victory among the locals.
Versappen had to settle in third place in the end, despite qualifying for the second and spending most of the enemy in this position. Oscar Piasstri completed a bold step on the Dutch late, but Hamilton was nearly seven seconds on the road.

He was rejoicing with pleasure leaving Ferrari and a wave for the fans who received him with consent in return. After that, he had a clear message about his critics who rushed to write off the 40 -year -old after his first appearance in Melbourne.
He said: “The first race was difficult and I really feel that many people played down his sharp climbing is to enter a new team, to become in the team inside the team, understanding, communication, and all kinds of things.
“The amount of critics and the people I heard runs all the way, it is clear that they may not understand because they never had experience, or unaware. So I felt comfortable in the car and I feel more comfortable in the car because I did not feel comfortable in Melbourne.
“From the first lap here at the end of this week, I really felt it. The engineers have done a great job, and the mechanics did a great job to seize the car, and I felt wonderfully. It started a good start and there is a lot of grip on this new airport. It is really difficult to take care of these new tires, but I think everyone was struggling.”
Victory early in his career Ferrari will undoubtedly raise the hopes and expectations of more success from Hamilton in the coming months. But the British was also fast in urging “calm” and clarifying that there is still a lot of progress to make.
He added: “I don't feel pressure. I know Tifosi, and I know the fans, and I know that the team wants to win, and this means everything for them. But I said on the last day, Rome was not built in one day, one step at one time and we will not take ourselves. We cannot.
“We will continue to pressure, be diligent, remain concentrated, and remain calm – and most importantly to remain calm – because these moments make us all enthusiastic. But we will return to our offices after that, focus on the qualifiers. It is a long run.
The Championship leader Lando Norris scored only one point by completing the eighth in the enemy. He had started sixth, but he dropped three places in the opening lap, and only one of them recovered.
