Not because of cornering speeds, but because of the demands to change direction of the car, which requires a sharp front end (wooow, it's like the 5th different phrasing of no understeer).

Could be similar to Vegas. Boring DRS passes on straights with some heroic braking into slow corners.

Fun fact: the shape of the Shanghai International Circuit is designed to resemble the Chinese character Shàng (上), which is the first character in the name Shanghai in Chinese (上海)

The Chinese gp track is shaped to be a actually a really clever 上 for Shanghai (上海）, rlly nice design, possibly one of the only tracks that were built specifically with the shape in mind

The biggest flaw to the Sprint format is that it is nothing more than a mini format of Sundays race. I think the Sprint should be reverse grid and a constructors championship only. The track should also be modified so that it does not simply resemble the Sunday race - add chicanes and also "short cuts - slower but shorter, and long cuts, long but quicker" - alowing teams to chose different strategies and setups. I like the new parc fermé rule though, allowing teams to set their cars for the main race.

Bernie is such an asset ………. and of course very easy on the eye 🫢

FOM have taken a naive and shortsighted view on Andretti joining the grid. The importance of the American market has been dismissed, after years of trying to crack the code. If they want to secure and likely grow popularity in the States, they had best reconsider and get Andretti on the grid.

It comes down to the FIA, mate. They mandate the grading standard of the track. And thusly the FIA would have carried out a pre-race circuit and facilities inspection. Shanghai is "apparently" a grade 1 circuit. Personally I have no idea how or why it got to so close to the occasion before the remedial work to the track surface was carried out. My guess is the track inspection would have taken place weeks/months ago by "individual A" for the FIA. And, further to that, likely because the teams arrived within the last week or so for the upcoming race, someone else within the FIA has likely carried out the race weekend inspection more recently, and thusly decided the were problems that weren't actioned in the preceding months.

It's only a year away these engines need to be fired up! 2025 is baked in for RB. That's it!

Yes of course China should always be on the calendar from now on.

I'm against races in countries known to have bullies or dictators as leaders and in which the respect of human rights is questionable.
