Let’s recap the Chinese Grand Prix over boozy boba and stir-fried race cakes! The on-track drama may have been a bit sub-par, but we can always rely on the teams to make unique strategy calls and on the FIA to take very precise measurements post-race. Plus the rookies are keeping us all on our toes! So, let’s dive in to the 2025 Chinese GP.
