About the Chinese Grand Prix
Chinese Grand Prix History
The Chinese Grand Prix inaugurates the return of Formula 1 to the Asian continent. The engines roared for the first time at the Shanghai International Circuit in 2004. The race was the first step toward securing a broader beachhead for Formula 1 in Asia. For over a decade, the Chinese Grand Prix held a steady place on the calendar, featuring intense duels among some of the greatest drivers of the era.
After a four-year hiatus, the event returned in 2024, introducing the sprint race format as its central feature. Since its inception, the Chinese Grand Prix has seen many significant victories, with Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel becoming synonymous with success and mastery of the circuit. Unlike many traditional European events with long histories, Shanghai's relatively younger presence has still forged its own legacy within the sport.
The cancellation due to the pandemic heightened anticipation for its return, felt deeply by fans, local authorities, and the many who live and work near the circuit. While European tracks boast historic aura, Shanghai proudly showcases modernity.
Chinese Grand Prix Experience
The sprint race format intensifies the race weekend, compressing action into a thrilling three-day event from Friday to Sunday. Spectators can expect relentless excitement without distraction, making it one of the most gripping race weekends on the calendar.
The main grandstand seats 10,000 spectators, offering unobstructed views of the track's most demanding sectors. Additional grandstands and standing areas provide diverse viewing options. FIA-compliant pit facilities include 16 garages which serve as telemetric and operational hubs for teams. The pit lane between turns 9 and 10 is the longest in F1, ensuring fast and effective access for teams to the race action. Audiovisual capabilities and accessibility features like ramps and wheelchair seating accommodate all attendees, including those with disabilities.
International visitors benefit from a 24-hour transit visa at Pudong Airport, simplifying travel logistics.
