The 2025 Chinese Grand Prix was a Formula One motor race that was held on 23 March 2025 at the Shanghai International Circuit in Shanghai. It was the second round of the 2025 Formula One World Championship and the first of six Grands Prix in the season to utilise the sprint format.
Lewis Hamilton took sprint pole position and kept the lead to win the sprint ahead of Oscar Piastri and Max Verstappen.
In the main race, polesitter Oscar Piastri kept the lead on the first lap, while his teammate Lando Norris moved up to second. Lewis Hamilton tagged with teammate Charles Leclerc, causing the left endplate of Leclerc's front wing to come off. On the fifth lap, Fernando Alonso retired from the race due to overheating on his rear brakes caused by his brake duct assembly setup being different to that from his teammate Lance Stroll, while Gabriel Bortoleto spun into the gravel on the same lap, though he was able to keep going. Piastri and Norris, the latter suffering from a worsening brake issue, completed the 50th 1-2 finish for McLaren ahead of George Russell.
Following the race, Charles Leclerc and Pierre Gasly were disqualified due to their cars being underweight, while Lewis Hamilton was disqualified for excessive skid wear. In the days that followed the Grand Prix, Red Bull announced that Liam Lawson would undergo a driver swap with Racing Bulls' Yuki Tsunoda, with the latter taking his seat at Red Bull from the Japanese Grand Prix onward.
