McLaren’s Oscar Piastri caught fans’ attention after the Chinese Grand Prix sprint race when he was seen closely examining Ferrari’s SF-25 following the session.
The first sprint of the 2025 season ended with Lewis Hamilton taking his first victory as a Ferrari driver.

McLaren vs. Ferrari: A Renewed Rivalry?
Despite missing out on the sprint win, Piastri bounced back on Sunday, converting his maiden Grand Prix pole position into his third career F1 victory. Meanwhile, Ferrari’s weekend took a turn for the worse.

With McLaren leading the championship on 78 points, questions now arise over whether Ferrari’s costly mistakes will prevent them from reigniting their thrilling 2024 title battle with the papaya team.
