Round two of the 2026 F1 season takes place around the Shanghai International Circuit – home of the Chinese Grand Prix!
This weekend marks the first sprint event of the campaign, meaning drivers have just 60 minutes to get up to speed before being thrown into the competitive sessions.
Mercedes will be looking to continue where it left off in Melbourne last time out and run at the head of the pack. What can Ferrari do around the circuit, 12 months on from Lewis Hamilton’s sensational sprint race victory? And, it will be using its special ‘Macarena’ wing!
Before we get into the high-pressure sessions, it’s time for practice!
Follow our dedicated live updates from FP1 below, which also features live timing!
