During the practice session of the Chinese Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton was on a run when his engineer radioed him. Engineer Pete Bonnington [https://twitter.com/peterbonnington?lang=en] advised Lewis Hamilton about his entry into Turn 12 but the Briton cut him off. Hamilton said, “No more coaching, Bono”. It seemed that the 5-time World Champion was not in the mood to be told what to do. https://streamable.com/2bg3j He later went on to finish 2nd behind Sebastian Vettel [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sebastian-vettel/] in FP1 and ahead of Charles LeClerc [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/charles-leclerc/]. Meanwhile, teammate Valtteri Bottas [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valtteri-bottas/] was 5th behind Max Verstappen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/] in the Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/]. The rest of the top 10 consisted of Daniel Ricciardo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniel-ricciardo/], Pierre Gasly [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/], Daniil Kvyat [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/], Lance Stroll [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lance-stroll/] and Romain Grosjean [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/romain-grosjean/].

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.
