This weekend, Formula 1 returns to action with the China Grand Prix, a circuit that returns to the calendar after several seasons of absence due to the pandemic. McLaren comes as the team to beat after a dominant season with Lando Norris as a clear candidate to overthrow Max Verstappen.
Red Bull and Ferrari will try to reduce the gap and recover ground in the fight for the championship. Max Verstappen will seek victory after his second place in Australia, while in Mercedes with George Russell as leader of the project he will want to repeat a new podium.
This China Grand Prix is very important for the World Cup, since there will be more points than normal. Shanghai will host the first weekend with sprint format of the season, which will add an extra challenge to the team’s strategy.
The Shanghai International Circuit, with its 5,451 meters in length and 16 curves, will test the cars with its complex combination of long lines and slower curves.
