GEORGE RUSSELL SECURES SPRINT POLE IN SHANGHAI! 🥇

A very impressive effort from the Mercedes driver 👏

📻 Max on the onboard after sprint qualifying:

"...I can't. This is undriveable. We never had anything this bad."

The Sprint Grid is IN! 😎

It's a Mercedes 1-2 ahead of Norris, Hamilton and Piastri

Hate seeing Williams like this, they haven't been relevant in over 20 years. Such a shame.

Rounds #4 and #5 are canceled. Confirmation later.

Formula 1's Grands Prix in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia in April are set to be called off this weekend due to the conflict in the Middle East, reducing the 2026 season to 22 races 🚨
