De vs Du Sel"Il s'est passé de sel." Why "de sel" and not "du sel"? There's an inherent negation utilized by figuratively "going without" but not formal/grammatic negation via "ne...pas."

Ce qui ce que

Il a gagné la course, ce qui est impressionnant.He won the race, which is amazing.

Ce qui in this suggests the word race is the subject. Why? I am really struggling with which is the subject or object in more complex sentences. Isn’t he the subject doing the winning ?

In the last sentence why is there no ‘que’? I.e. “Quelle belle journée que nous avons passée!”
