George Russell extended his advantage in the F1 drivers' standings to 11 points after taking victory in the sprint at the Shanghai International Circuit.
Team-mate Kimi Antonelli, who started alongside the Briton on the front row, tumbled down the order at the start and received a 10-second time penalty for causing a collision with Isack Hadjar.
He recovered to fourth and served his punishment during the safety car-triggered pit stops, but lost further ground to Russell.
Charles Leclerc, who finished second in the one-third distance race at the Chinese Grand Prix, drew level with Antonelli on 22 points.
Russell is, therefore, up to 33 points, with a further 25 on offer in the full-length event in Shanghai.
Lewis Hamilton added six points to his tally, finishing third, behind his current team-mate and former team-mate.
