Mercedes will look to build off an exceptional performance in the 2026 Formula 1 season opener at the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday, March 15.

The second round of the 2026 F1 season has concluded and the final results for the Chinese Grand Prix have been officially confirmed by the FIA. Don't worry Lewis Hamilton fans, you can rest easy knowing the seven-time champion has managed to cling onto his Shanghai race result, unlike he did in the aftermath of last year's Chinese GP .

McLaren has launched an investigation with engine supplier Mercedes to investigate why both of its cars suffered terminal electrical faults that ruled them out of the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday, as Formula 1 champion Lando Norris said the team must rule out a repeat.

After a wild season-opening weekend to kick off Formula 1's rules revolution, attention turns to the Chinese Grand Prix as Mercedes' rivals look to bounce back.

The young Italian star now moves within four points of team-mate George Russell in the standings after a brilliant race.
