01Getting To Know China
The Chinese Grand Prix is back on the Formula 1 calendar after an enforced break due to the recent pandemic. The backdrop to this event is the Shanghai International Circuit, a marvel of modern architecture, with a track that is noted for its mix of high speed sections and other technical challenges. The demanding nature of the circuit means it is a stern test of the cars, while being very popular with fans and drivers, the latter getting an opportunity to demonstrate their bravura at the wheel.

“The Shanghai track is quite unique, I do like it and I feel we can have a strong weekend. Our performance level every time we were on track in Melbourne was very good so if we have a straightforward FP1, picking up where we left off, we can do well. We will have to be fully focussed as it’s the first Sprint weekend of the season.“

"Heading to China, I feel more confident than I did a week ago when I was going to Australia. In Melbourne, I immediately felt comfortable with the car on short runs and in Qualifying, which was one of the targets we had established, based on what we saw at the Bahrain test. Of course, I am still lacking race experience so it’s good that this will be a Sprint weekend, as I will have the short race to get a feel for it before the main one.”
