It was held between 7 April and 9 April 2017. In qualifying, Lewis Hamilton took his sixth pole position at the Shanghai International Circuit, with Sebastian Vettel joining him on the front row for the second time in a row. Hamilton's Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas was third, with Vettel's Ferrari teammate Kimi Räikkönen fourth. In the race, Hamilton made a good start, and stayed comfortably ahead of the field for the entire race, always able to put on an extra burst of speed when necessary. Vettel survived a badly-timed pit stop, and was able to pull within 10 seconds of Hamilton, but never seriously threatened the lead. Red Bull driver Max Verstappen just held off teammate Daniel Ricciardo for the final spot on the podium. __TOC__
