The Shanghai Circuit is 5.451km long, and the fastest lap record is held by the legendary Michael Schumacher, clocking in at 1:32.238 back in 2004!

Designed to resemble the Chinese character for "Shang," which means "above" or "upwards," this track features some epic long straights, the longest being 1.2km between turns 13 and 14. 

It’s gonna be super exciting to see who takes the win this time! Lewis Hamilton has dominated this track in the past, winning more races here than any other driver—6 times!
