How to follow Friday’s Chinese GP on TV/streaming – The presentation of the Chinese GP – Chinese GP numbers and statistics

Good morning and welcome to LIVE LIVE from the first day of the Chinese GP weekend, fifth round of the 2024 F1 World Championship. On the circuit of Shanghai it will be so much to do for drivers and teams which they will face many difficulties in finding the ideal setup for your car.

First of all, it will be a different weekend than usual. The presence of the Sprint Race on Saturday will lead to a substantial change for Chinese day-1. In fact, only one one-hour free practice session is scheduled to precede the Sprint Qualifyingthat is to say the time-attack to define the starting grid for the Sprint on Saturday.

For this reason FP1 will be fundamental in the work of balancing the single-seater. However, the teams will not have recent data to rely on. In fact, there has been no racing in China since 2019, before the Covid-19 pandemic. Consequentially, there are no references relating to the new ground effect single-seaters on this track. An aspect to consider.
