ESPN rounds up the major talking points from an absorbing Chinese Grand Prix which featured a Red Bull surprise, some thrilling overtakes and another thrilling wet-weather display from Max Verstappen.
Shock: Red Bull was nowhere all weekend but the damp start brought them well into proceedings. Max Verstappen's utterly ridiculous start made him a contender for the podium and the team would have laughed at the suggestion third and fourth was possible late on. The result was made easier by Ferrari's odd strategy for Kimi Raikkonen, seemingly leaving the Finn out to dry by delaying his last stop and letting him emerge behind both Red Bulls.
