Episode Details

The Shanghai International Circuit, host of the Chinese Grand Prix, features a 5.451 km layout with 16 turns and 56 laps, totaling 305.066 km. The lap record, set by Michael Schumacher in 2004, stands at 1:32.238. The track, shaped like the Chinese symbol for upwards, debuted in 2004 and has seen Ferrari dominate, with Lewis Hamilton leading wins (6) and Ferrari/Mercedes sharing 13 podiums. Recent resurfacing improved grip but caused tyre graining. The 2026 rules introduce Straight Mode zones and Overtake Mode, potentially shaking up the front-row dominance.
