KIMI Antonelli, 19, converted being the youngest pole-sitter in history into a maiden victory at the Chinese Grand Prix after an action-packed weekend dominated by Mercedes.

Here, we look at three talking points from the second race weekend of the 2026 Formula One calendar at the Shanghai International Circuit.

The board's hardest decision: When leadership must change

THE departure of a CEO almost always attracts public attention. Such transitions inevitably invite speculation about personalities, performance and internal dynamics.
