The Chinese Grand Prix is a Formula One World Championship event that has been contested every year since 2004 at the Shanghai International Circuit, Shanghai. Of the 16 occasions on which a Grand Prix has been held in China, the first five were held towards the end of the season. From 2009, the event has been one of the first races of the season.
History[]
The 2020 edition of the Grand Prix, scheduled for 19 April, was postponed and later cancelled, due to the COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) epidemic in China.[1] No further editions of the race have been held since; plans for 2021, 2022 and 2023 races were announced and later cancelled.
The Grand Prix returned to the Formula One calendar in 2024, marking the first time that a Chinese driver, Zhou Guanyu, competed in his home race. In 2025, the Chinese Grand Prix is scheduled as the second round of the season, taking place from 21 to 23 March. Additionally, the event will feature a sprint race on Saturday, making it one of six sprint weekends on the calendar.
In December 2024, it was announced that the Chinese Grand Prix would remain on the Formula One calendar until at least 2030 following a contract extension between the event organizers and Formula One Management .
