McLaren suffer ‘great blackout’ as Max Verstappen makes major declaration 

Kimi Antonelli made F1 history after securing victory in the Chinese Grand Prix, becoming the second-youngest winner in the sport.

It was not the only piece of history made by the Italian, who also became the youngest pole-sitter in F1, converting pole position into victory.

George Russell secured another Mercedes one-two ahead of Lewis Hamilton, with the Ferrari driver ending a 26-race wait for his maiden podium in red.

Elsewhere, it was a disastrous weekend for McLaren, which suffered a double DNS, while Max Verstappen was forced to retire and criticised the sport yet again.

Starting our trip around the world is British newspaper The Times, which focused on comments from Hamilton after his first Ferrari rostrum.

The seven-time world champion battled for the lead in the opening stages at the Shanghai International Circuit but could not keep up with either Mercedes car.

In the end, he defeated Charles Leclerc in a fight for the final spot on the podium to finally taste champagne in Ferrari red.

He declared afterwards that he was feeling “back to my best” and was full of praise for the new power unit regulations.

🇳🇱 De Telegraaf – “Resigned Max Verstappen is glad the weekend is over: ‘I’d be better off starting last'”

In the Netherlands, De Telegraaf covered Verstappen’s major start difficulties following yet another poor launch as the lights went out.

In both the China Sprint and the grand prix, Verstappen tumbled towards the back of the field after his RB22 trundled off the start line.
