F1 Chinese Grand Prix: Drivers look ahead to Sunday's race
[]
To the track for Formula One with the Chinese Grand Prix coming up on Sunday in Shanghai. Reigning world champion Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen will go into the race with a bit of beef after the last grand prix in Bahrain. Verstappen tried to squeeze by Hamilton at the start of the second lap, but their cars collided and the Dutchman, well known for taking risks and pushing the envelope, wound up with a punctured tyre and was forced to retire.
Hamilton got the better of it and managed to finish third, calling Verstappen an expletive after the race and suggested the 20-year-old Red Bull driver lacked maturity and respect for others. 
Verstappen didn't back down on Thursday in Shanghai and defended his driving. Just a few minutes after he said that the two shook hands in the paddock with some form of apology exchanged. 
Neither Verstappen nor Hamilton have had perfect starts as the season enters the third race. The Chinese Grand Prix offers a chance for a turnaround, particularly for Verstappen, who finished third in China a year ago.
Hamilton is probably the favourite to win on Sunday. In 11 races at the Shanghai circuit, he's won five times - three of the last four races, including last year - and has claimed the pole six times.
