Russell also won the season opening Australian GP
Mercedes' George Russell won the sprint race at the Chinese Grand Prix after a frantic scrap in the early laps with Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari.
Russell and Hamilton swapped places five times in the first five laps before the winner of the first race of the season eased away to a comfortable victory.
Hamilton lost out to team-mate Charles Leclerc three laps after Russell finally passed him for the lead as the Ferraris took second and third.
A safety car in the second half of the race closed the field up and shuffled the pack a little, briefly dropping Hamilton behind McLaren's Lando Norris.
