Chaos in China: Hamilton and Leclerc Disqualified as F1 Standings Shake Up!
The 2025 Chinese Grand Prix delivered a jaw-dropping twist as Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were both disqualified, dealing a crushing blow to Ferrari in the second race of the season. Post-race inspections revealed Hamilton’s skid block was below the required thickness, while Leclerc’s car was found to be underweight. Alpine’s Pierre Gasly also faced disqualification for a similar underweight issue.
As a result, Hamilton and Leclerc lost their hard-earned points from sixth and fifth place finishes – wiping eight and 10 points from their championship totals, respectively.
F1 Standings After the Chinese GP Drama:
1. Lando Norris – 44 points 🏆
2. Max Verstappen – 36 points
3. George Russell – 35 points
4. Oscar Piastri – 34 points
5. Kimi Antonelli – 22 points
Further down the grid, Hamilton now sits in ninth with nine points, while Leclerc drops to tenth with eight points. Meanwhile, McLaren’s stellar one-two finish has propelled Norris to the top of the leaderboard, with Verstappen and Russell hot on his heels.
The championship race is heating up, and the stakes have never been higher! Who will bounce back, and who will falter next? Stay tuned for more F1 fireworks! 🏎️✨
