sitter in Formula One history in Shanghai and the second-youngest race winner after Verstappen, was given a hero’s welcome when he returned to his native Bologna in Italy. The win had “removed a bit of weight from my shoulders”, said Antonellii. “It’s the kind of result which gives you strength and more awareness of what you can do.” McLaren have endured a nightmare start to the campaign under the new regulations which require battery management and energy har vesting with a 50-50 split between conventional and electrical power. Defending champion Norris, who com plained his car “sucks”, is 36 points behind Russell while Piastri is yet to take part in a grand prix this season after he crashed on his way to the grid in Melbourne. “We just have to take it on the chin, learn what the problem was and make sure it never happens again,” Norris said in Shanghai. “All of us want to go racing and score points.” The teams will have time to regroup after Suzuka, as there will be a five-week gap until the Miami GP as the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia races were cancelled because of the war in the Middle East. – AFP

look vanishingly slim as his Red Bull struggles with Formula One’s sweeping new regulations. Mercedes drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli will carry their early dominance into Suzuka with Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton their nearest challengers. Red Bull and Verstappen are scrambling to recover from a disastrous start to the Formula One season, as are McLaren whose drivers – world champion Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri – both failed to start in China with sepa rate technical problems. Verstappen, the four-time world champion, finished sixth in the opening grand prix in Australia after crashing in qualifying. He then limped home ninth and out of the points in the Shanghai sprint before retiring from the main race. Verstappen has raged against the 2026 regu lations and new car designs, branding them “anti-racing” and likening them to the Mario Kart video game with their electrical boost and overtake modes.

His problems in China, where he was ordered to retire on lap 46 of the grand prix because of a cooling issue, suggest his Suzuka dominance could end on Sunday. “Getting on top of our problems is not easy,” Verstappen said in Shanghai. “It would help if we would just have a normal start – I’ve been every time dropping to last.” Verstappen’s struggles are in stark contrast to the flying start enjoyed by Mercedes, who secured one-two finishes at both grands prix so far. Championship leader Russell triumphed in Australia and 19-year-old Antonelli picked up the first win of his fledgling career in China. Russell took the chequered flag in the Shanghai sprint and Mercedes will target a Suzuka triumph for the first time since Valtteri Bottas won in 2019. Antonelli, who became the youngest pole

I wanted to give her the victory,” Landaluce said.

JANNIK SINNER powered into the Miami Open quarterfinals yesterday, defeating unseeded American Alex Michelsen in straight sets to stay on course for the “Sunshine Double”. Italian second seed Sinner, who is bidding to follow up his triumph at Indian Wells with vic tory in Miami, bided his time before completing a 7-5, 7-6 (7 4) win in 1hr 41min. The four-time Grand Slam champion, who will face 19th seed Frances Tiafoe in the last eight, was made to work hard by the 40th-ranked Michelsen. After a cagey opening Sinner began to put pressure on Michelsen’s serve in the ninth game of the first set, carving out three break points. Michelsen rode out that storm, but Sinner finally broke through in the 11th game before serving out for the first set. Michelsen hit back in the sec ond set, breaking Sinner for a 4 2 lead before holding to go 5-2 up. Michelsen appeared to struggle with the bright late afternoon sunlight on the Hard Rock Stadium’s main court and Sinner came roaring back to force a tiebreak. Sinner sealed the win with a thumping serve that Michelsen could only return wide. “I feel like I served very well

Spanish qualifier Martin Landaluce, ranked 151st in the world, upset American 32nd seed Sebastian Korda to score a 2-6, 7-6 (8-6), 6-4 victory. The win marked another impressive victory for the 20 year-old Landaluce, who elimi nated Russian 14th seed Karen Khachanov. Korda, who had beaten world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz in the previous round, had a match point late in the second set, but Landaluce survived to set up a quarter-final against Czech 21st seed Jiri Lehecka.
