Oscar Piastri delivered a commanding performance at the Chinese Grand Prix, leading teammate Lando Norris to a McLaren 1-2 finish and giving the team a sweep of the Formula One season's first two races.
Hamilton, who had finished sixth, was disqualified for a technical infringement on his Ferrari, while Leclerc, who had crossed the line fifth, was punished for his car being underweight.
Piastri, who made a mistake that cost him the win at the Australian GP last week, capitalized on clean air in Shanghai to steadily build his advantage.
A fuss-free, commanding 1-2 finish led by Piastri proved the papaya cars are going to be incredibly hard to beat in the early part of this season.
