Immediately after the Australian Grand Prix, the Formula 1 circus does not stop. Drivers and teams are ready to fly to Shanghai, where the second round of the 2025 World Championship will take place.
In Melbourne, McLaren took the win, but Max Verstappen, capitalizing on the tricky weather conditions in the final laps, pushed until the very last corner in a bid to snatch victory. Now, in China, the battle will resume: Red Bull will aim to return to the top step of the podium, while Ferrari will need to deliver a strong response after its disappointing performance at Albert Park.
The Shanghai International Circuit, Saturday will also host the first of this year’s six Sprint races. As always, the Formula 1 World Championship will be broadcast live on Sky. Below is the official schedule for the weekend.
