He Chinese Grand Prix is back and will do so in a very special way, as the first weekend of a sprint format in the 2024 season. Shanghai International Circuit is back on the calendar Formula 1 and will offer a great challenge for all the teams, who will not have many training sessions to get the car ready.
Because it is a sprint race weekend, only one free practice session will be held, while the rest of the rounds will be for the sprint race classification (also known as the sprint shootout); the sprint race, and the general classification for Sunday’s race. The good news is that for this year changes were made to the regulations and the teams will have the opportunity to make changes based on the information they collect during the sprint sessions.
The above does not mean that it will be a challenge to return to China, where they have not raced since 2019, when Lewis Hamilton he was left with the win. After that there were four seasons of absence from the top category of motorsport, so this weekend will be the first race in Shanghai for the current generation of single-seaters.
red bull comes as a team to win with Max Verstappen y Sergio ‘Checo’ Perez, who has three doubles in four runs so far this season. If they win everything in China, both the sprint race, the main race and the fastest lap, the Austrians would take a total of 59 points which would give them a significant advantage in the Constructors’ Championship.
However, it will be until this Thursday when they go out on the field for free practice and the sprint shooting that it will be known if those from Milton Keynes did a good job in the simulator or if they will have another difficult weekend like in Australia.
At what time and where can you watch free practice and qualifying for the sprint race in the Chinese GP?
