Checo Pérez supo sufrir y también lucirse en la Sprint de China. El piloto mexicano, quien arrancó desde la sexta plaza, aprovechó en la vuelta 16 la pelea que protagonizaron Carlos Sainz y Fernando Alonso para rebasarlos y quedarse con la tercera posición en el Circuito Internacional de Shangái.

Por su parte, Max Verstappen, compañero del piloto tapatío en Red Bull Racing se convirtió en el ganador de la Sprint, demostrando que será el rival a vencer en la carrera principal que se disputará este domingo a la 1 AM (tiempo del centro de México).

Verstappen mostró su calidad 

El vigente campeón mundial y actual líder del Campeonato de Pilotos, que arrancó la carrera desde la cuarta posición, ganó esta prueba corta -19 vueltas- por delante del británico Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) y de Checo Pérez.

Hamilton se hizo con la punta tras hacer una buena arrancada y aprovechar que Lando Norris, quien se quedó con la pole, se salió de la pista. No obstante, el gusto le duró al británico hasta la novena vuelta, donde Max le rebasó para asaltar la primera posición.

El heptacampeón de la categoría quiso mantenerse en la pelea por la victoria en la Sprint, aunque sus intentos fueron en vano, ya que el neerlandés hizo todo lo posible para alejarse de su rival. Además, Hamilton se condenó con una bloqueada, la cual permitió a Verstappen dejarlo atrás.

¿Quiénes sumaron en la Sprint de China?

Cabe señalar que en este formato solo los primeros ocho clasificados suman puntos, por lo que estos fueron los competidores que consiguieron rascar algo para su casillero:

  2. Hamilton (siete puntos)
  3. Pérez (seis puntos)
  4. Leclerc (cinco puntos)
  5. Sainz (cuatro puntos)
