An emotional Kimi Antonelli won a grand prix for the first time Sunday in China ahead of Mercedes teammate George Russell and Lewis Hamilton, who made his maiden podium for Ferrari.The 19-year-old Antonelli converted being the youngest pole-sitter in Formula One history into victory after both McLarens dramatically failed to start the Shanghai race.Antonelli briefly lost the lead at the start but once he got back in front he controlled the pace to cruise home to the chequered flag by more than five seconds from Russell. Charles Leclerc was fourth in the second Ferrari."I'm speechless, I'm about to cry to be honest," said Antonelli as he choked back tears."Thank you to the team for helping me to achieve this dream."It was an almost flawless drive from the youngster, apart from one heart-fluttering moment when he locked up at the hairpin on his penultimate lap.But he recovered to avoid nothing more damaging than a small excursion off track."I really wanted to bring Italy back to the top and we did today. Even if I gave myself a little bit of a heart attack towards the end a flat spot," Antonelli added.Early championship leader Russell was full of praise for his young teammate after the dominant Mercedes team secured a one-two for the second race running."A huge congratulations to Kimi because it's always very special to win your first race," said Russell, whose lead has been cut to four points by Antonelli.The Italian replaced Hamilton at Mercedes and the seven-time world champion said he could not be more pleased for the teenager and his old team."I'm so so happy for you buddy, and I'm so honoured to be able to share this moment with him," said Hamilton."He took my seat obviously, at this great team. So big congratulations to Mercedes."They're really pulling ahead at the moment. We've got a lot of work to do to try and keep up."Hamilton, as he had done in Saturday's sprint, got a great start and had taken the lead by the time the teams emerged from the first complex of turns.Leclerc also launched brilliantly and managed to get past Russell, who started second on the grid.The top four swapped places multiple times before a safety car on lap 11 brought them all into the pits.McLaren, Red Bull woeOnce the dust settled and they went racing again, Antonelli led from Hamilton, with Leclerc third and Russell fourth.By lap 29 Russell had got past both Ferraris and up to second and set off trying to catch his young Italian teammate, who was by now more than seven seconds up the road.Four-time world champion Max Verstappen continued Red Bull's poor start to the new season when he was told to retire his car on lap 46.Oliver Bearman was fifth in the Haas, followed home by Pierre Gasly (Alpine) and Liam Lawson (RB).Rounding out the top-10 points scorers were Isack Hadjar (Red Bull), Carlos Sainz (Williams) and Franco Colapinto (Alpine).Current world champion Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri both failed to start because of separate issues that left McLaren without a car in the race.Norris had an electrical problem that prevented him getting to the grid.Piastri did get round to the grid but was pushed back into the garage a few minutes later with a different problem."Unfortunately we identified separate issues on both cars which prevented them from starting the Chinese GP," said McLaren in a statement.It has been an awful start to the season for the constructors' world champions.Last weekend only one McLaren took part in the opening race in Melbourne after Piastri crashed on his way to the grid, meaning the Australian is yet to race in a grand prix this season.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban sought Sunday to mobilise voters for what he called a "historic" vote on April 12, while opposition supporters hoping to end the nationalist leader's 16-year rule turned out in droves at a rival rally.Huge crowds joined rival marches in Budapest Sunday, as both Orban and Magyar push allegations of foreign interference just four weeks before tightly fought elections.Tens of thousands of people attended both rallies, according to AFP journalists on site.Orban faces what could be his toughest bid for re-election after three years of stagnation, a surge in the cost of living and a pro-EU rival seen by many as a viable alternative.Both Orban's right-wing Fidesz and centre-right challenger Peter Magyar's Tisza used Hungary's March 15 national day for a show of force as the campaign enters a pivotal stage.Most surveys put Tisza ahead by a wide margin.Orban has cast the vote as a choice between war and peace, accusing his rivals of plotting to drag Hungary into the war raging in neighbouring Ukraine since Russia's February 2022 invasion, accusations which the opposition denies.Dismissing his rival's poll lead, Orban said Fidesz should aim to exceed its 2022 election landslide."We must win not like we did four years ago but better. We need not as many votes as four years ago but more," he said. "We must score a historic victory, because the next government will have a historic responsibility."Orban said his supporters' rally was the largest of its kind, filling a main square outside parliament.Opposition supporters thronged a majestic avenue stretching from near the Danube River to Heroes' Square in one of the largest rallies against Orban, exposing deep rifts in Hungary.A Fidesz supporter called Orban "Europe's best politician" while some attending Magyar's rally wondered if they had a future in Hungary if Orban gets re-elected."There is unrest all over the world, and here in our little country we want to preserve peace, calm and security. And Viktor Orban ensures that for us," said Sandorne Pista, 60, who came from the southern university town of Pecs.Orban has long been at loggerheads with the EU over a range of issues, including Ukraine.Defying Brussels, he has maintained cordial ties with Moscow, refuses to send weapons to Ukraine, and says Kyiv can never join the EU.While most polls have shown a Tisza lead, Fidesz points to surveys showing it on course to victory, though its opponents say these have mainly been conducted by institutes with financial or personal ties to the ruling party.Magyar has dismissed Orban's campaign as laughable "propaganda", but Tisza has trodden cautiously on Ukraine, saying that it opposes any fast-track EU accession for Kyiv and that it would put the issue to a binding referendum if it wins power.Magyar, speaking in a venue where Orban shot to fame in 1989 by calling for the withdrawal of Russian troops from the country, said Hungary's place was squarely in the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato)."Holding onto power at all costs. It is all that matters to him now," Magyar said of Orban. "Provoking with war, threatening with war, stoking war. This is his ultimate weapon against the Hungarian people."Some opposition supporters also thought the election would be a watershed moment."I think this country cannot bear four more years of Fidesz rule," Noemi Szemerszki said.

French voters cast votes Sunday to pick mayors and councillors in elections widely seen as a barometer of France's political mood ahead of the high-stakes 2027 presidential race.Mayors lead nearly 35,000 municipalities in the country, from major cities to villages with only a few dozen residents.Local results can shape national momentum, especially so close to a presidential election, which opinion polls show the far-right National Rally (RN) could potentially win.Voting started at 8am (0700 GMT) and ended at 8pm with preliminary results to be released shortly after. In many medium to large cities there will be a second round on March 22.By 5pm, voter turnout was less than 49%, up from the roughly 39% at the same stage in the last mayoral elections in 2020, which were held during the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, but lower than the 55% turnout in 2014.Marine Le Pen's ascendant far-right party views next year's contest as its strongest chance yet to take power, with centrist President Emmanuel Macron constitutionally barred from running again.While nearly 90% of France's communes are small rural constituencies where local elections are traditionally depoliticised, the races could nonetheless reveal key trends and dynamics, said political scientist Nonna Mayer."In large towns, national issues will matter more, and they can give some hints on the electoral dynamic of the main parties," Mayer, who is affiliated with Sciences Po university and scientific research centre CNRS, told AFP.Who wins cities like Paris, Lyon, Marseille and Nice will matter, she added.Clarisse Bremaud, a 26-year-old exhibition producer, was among the voters trickling in and out of a polling station in central Paris."For me it's important to take part in every election," she told AFP. "I feel it's even more crucial today with what's happening in France – particularly with the evolution of politics in France and the world."Historically, France's major cities have been governed either by centre-left parties or the right-wing Republicans.By contrast, Le Pen's far-right National Rally, the hard-left party of firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon and Macron's centrists have struggled to establish a strong local footprint.The National Rally (RN), which currently governs only one major city of more than 100,000 inhabitants, Perpignan, hopes to strengthen its local presence by capturing urban centres such as Toulon and Marseille, France's second largest city.At a polling station in Marseille, construction worker Serge said he was neither worried nor hopeful about the RN."They are not worse than the others. It won't change anything. Nothing changes, and that is the problem," said the 61-year-old, who declined to give his last name, adding that security is a priority for him in this election.A strong performance would mark an important milestone in the RN's longstanding effort to gain broader acceptance in the political mainstream.The anti-immigration party sees the elections as an opportunity to show it can govern at the local level."France's recovery begins this Sunday," RN chief Jordan Bardella, 30, told voters, urging them to turn out en masse.In one of the highest-profile contests, former prime minister Edouard Philippe is hoping to keep his seat as mayor of the northern port city of Le Havre, a role he has held since 2014.A loss by 55-year-old Phillipe, seen by some as the strongest candidate to take on Le Pen or Bardella, in the 2027 polls, will deplete his political capital.All eyes are also on the battle for Paris, where Rachida Dati, a combative former culture minister and one-time protégé of now convicted ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy, hopes to wrest control of the city from the left, which has run the French capital for the last quarter-century.Dati goes neck-to-neck with left-wing candidate Emmanuel Gregoire, 48, and the loss of Paris would be a blow to the Socialist Party ahead of the presidential campaign."I had zero hesitation on who to pick," Anne Torregrossa, a 65-year-old civil servant, told AFP in Paris, adding her priorities included "the environment, civil liberties, and living together in harmony", though she declined to reveal her choice.Many mayoral candidates have distanced themselves from political parties, reflecting voters' exasperation with the elites and the paralysis that has gripped the country ever since Macron called snap elections in 2024."Turnout will tell us about the health of French democracy," said Mayer, the political scientist, pointing to "political distrust and disaffection".The week between the two rounds is expected to see political parties negotiating deals with rivals and joining forces against strong opponents."The pattern of tactical voting will offer a preview for next year," said Mujtaba Rahman, Europe director at risk analysis firm Eurasia Group.He said the election results would indicate whether a strategy to contain the far right was "dead or might still be revived".A second round of voting will be held in all cities where no single list wins more than 50% of the vote.
