Shanghai International Circuit returned to the Formula 1 schedule for the first time since 2019 last year, and this year's Chinese Grand Prix has been moved up by about a month, making it race number two on a record-tying 24-race calendar.

Sunday's race is scheduled to be a 56-lap race around the 16-turn, 3.388-mile (5.452-kilometer) Jiading, Shanghai road course, where Red Bull's Max Verstappen won from pole last year. He also won last year's sprint race after McLaren's Lando Norris started on pole.

This year's sprint race was won by Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton after he started from the pole position.
