Chinese Grand Prix
Shanghai International Circuit
F1 RaceWeather Forecast

The Shanghai International Circuit is one of the most distinctive venues on the Formula One calendar. Located in the Jiading District northwest of central Shanghai, the circuit opened in 2004 and was designed by renowned track architect Hermann Tilke.

The 5.45-km (3.39-mile) layout is known for its unusual shape, which resembles the Chinese character “上” (shàng), meaning “up” or “above.” The track features a mix of long straights, heavy braking zones, and technical corners that challenge both drivers and engineers. One of its most famous features is the sweeping opening complex that tightens into a slow hairpin, while the 1.2-km back straight leads into one of the best overtaking opportunities on the calendar.

Spring weather in eastern China often brings cool temperatures and shifting winds, factors that can influence tire performance and overall race strategy throughout the weekend.
