- Updates from qualifying in Shanghai (7am GMT start)
- Get in touch – email Dominic with your thoughts
We are under way. It’s very, very hot in Shanghai but it’s still soft tyres for almost all the drivers in this first qualifying session.
In the constructors’ standings McLaren (35) lead Mercedes (34) by a single point, with Red Bull (24) and Ferrari (17) a little further back. Can any of the other constructors send a message in qualifying? Alpine and Haas are still without a point.
