Before Betting On Chinese Grand Prix
There will be a welcome sight for Formula 1 fans at the end of May, as the Chinese Grand Prix makes its long awaited return to the schedule. This race has been absent from the calendar since 2019 due to the implication of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. But, it should be an exciting race, as the action on track continues in Asia.
The field will complete a total of 305.086 km, with one lap of the Shanghai International Circuit covering 5.451 km. Lewis Hamilton has been the most dominant driver in the race’s history, landing six victories throughout his career. That includes a victory in the previous edition of the race in 2019.
However, Max Verstappen will be the driver to beat in Shanghai, as the reigning world champion chases a fourth victory of the season. The Dutchman got his season back on track after retiring early in Australia by landing a dominant success in the Japanese Grand Prix last weekend.
Ferrari once again showed some fine race pace to finish third and fourth in the standings, with Carlos Sainz finishing ahead of his teammate Charles Leclerc. It was yet another weekend to forget for Mercedes, while McLaren once again enjoyed a morale-boosting outing with Lando Norris finishing ahead of Fernando Alonso to seal fifth.
