Max Verstappen achieved a significant milestone by securing his first career victory at the Chinese Grand Prix, marking Red Bull Racing's 100th F1 pole position. This victory also represents Red Bull's dominance as Verstappen secured the pole in all five opening races of the 2024 season, a feat last accomplished by Mika Hakkinen in 1999. The race, which was the first in Shanghai in five years, saw Lando Norris finish in second place, 13.7 seconds behind Verstappen, while Sergio Perez completed the podium. Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz finished fourth and fifth respectively. The event was filled with strategic pit stops and multiple safety car deployments that influenced the race outcome.
