The Italian teenager fenomenon Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) converted pole position at the Chinese Grand Prix into his first Formula 1 victory to beat team-mate Russell, as Lewis Hamilton secured his first Ferrari podium. Antonelli had to contend with a typically fast start from the two Ferraris but, helpfully, did not get bogged down himself; this ensured that, although the Italian lost the lead into Turn 1 to Hamilton, he was able to stay ahead of Charles Leclerc after a long and spectacular battle. Haas' Ollie Bearman arrived fifth. Gasly added to Alpine's tally with sixth, picking up a place when Verstappen retired his Red Bull with a power unit issue. McLaren's drivers Piastri and Norris failed to start with unrelated powertrain issues. Same situation with Albon and Bortoleto also unable to take their positions on the grid.
Ferrari has just announced an Amalfi for people who prefer life without a roof. The arrival of the Spider version of the car that replaced the Roma car is no surprise, and completes the new entry level of Ferrari’s lineup. Stylistically, it’s not just a case of chopping the top from the coupe, with the two cars designed in parallel and identical to the A-pillar. With its fabric roof in place, the Spider successfully echoes the profile of the coupe, and even the rear end stays true to the tin top, while the cut of the coupe’s lower rear glass is mimicked in black fiber. The Amalfi Spider’s roof can be optioned in four colors and two “technical” fabrics. Ferrari says, “The distinctive weave of the fabric creates a three-dimensional shimmering effect that highlights the roof in all lighting conditions". What’s more, it can be raised or lowered in just 13.5 seconds at speeds of up to 37 mph (60 km/h). When folded away, the roof is just 8.7 inches thick, which means there’s still 6.1 cubic feet of trunk space available for roofless drives, or nine cubic feet with the roof up. Price should be less than $400.000.

A special thanks to Sam Smith and Bob DeMart for their contribution. It is an immense privilege watching this car with such a great history... there are pages and pages of news... and Jim says "It is a great handling race car, and still amazes me every time I see it and drive it"...
