Race behind the race
Right after the Australian Grand Prix, Formula 1 will make the trip to China for the first double-header of the 2025 season. The race in Shanghai returned to the calendar last year after a four-year absence due to the COVID-19 pandemic, quickly re-establishing itself as a key event on the F1 schedule.
This will be the 18th running of the Chinese Grand Prix, which made its debut in 2004. Originally held in the fall, the race was moved to the spring in 2009 and has since taken place in March or April. The Shanghai International Circuit, known for its distinctive layout inspired by the Chinese character "上" (shàng), features long straights, technical corners, and heavy braking zones, making it a true test of both speed and precision.
Once the checkered flag drops in Shanghai, teams and drivers will stay in Asia as they head to Japan for the third race of the season. This marks the first time the Chinese and Japanese Grands Prix have been paired together in a back-to-back format, a move aimed at improving calendar efficiency, reducing logistical strain, and enhancing sustainability in the sport.
