Formula 1 Returns to China for First Time Since 2019
Shanghai International Circuit to Host Round Five of Championship
Verstappen Faces New Challenge at Historic Track
Formula 1 is set to make its long-awaited return to China this weekend, marking the first race in the country since 2019. The Chinese Grand Prix will take place at the Shanghai International Circuit, with world champion Max Verstappen looking to extend his early lead in the drivers' standings.
The last Formula 1 race in China was won by Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas in 2019. The race was also notable for being the last grand prix held before the COVID-19 pandemic brought the sport to a halt.
Since then, Formula 1 has undergone significant changes, with new cars and regulations introducing a more competitive field. Verstappen has emerged as the dominant force in the sport, winning back-to-back world championships in 2021 and 2022.
However, the Shanghai International Circuit is a daunting prospect for any driver, with its long straights and technical corners. Verstappen will need to be at his best if he wants to secure a victory this weekend.
