Edmund So | Getty ImagesThe Chinese Grand Prix could deliver some much-needed drama to Formula 1, and Red Bull's Max Verstappen can't be penciled in as the almost-certain winner on Sunday. It's also the season's first GP with a sprint race, which means Friday's practice session was the only one of the weekend. This is the first F1 race in China in five years, scratched from the calendar by the COVID-19 pandemic. Horner accepted the concern but noted the Shanghai circuit is a known quantity, hosting races since 2004.

Formula 1 Keeps Adding Races

There are more Formula 1 races than ever, and next season there will be even more, with 24 races, the most in the sport’s history. This year’s Formula 1 schedule, at 23 events, should have set the record, but the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was canceled because of the extreme rainfall that devastated the region. Also returning to the calendar is the Chinese Grand Prix, which was last held at the Shanghai International Circuit in 2019. Formula 1 and the Chinese race’s promoter have a contract through 2025, and next year’s Grand Prix will be on April 21, the season’s fifth race. “Now there’s a lot of people really into racing and Formula 1 who can’t wait to go back there — also myself — for the Grand Prix,” said Zhou Guanyu of China, who drives for Alfa Romeo.

Today, some people tip him to become F1’s answer to Yao Ming, the Chinese NBA sensation often credited with making basketball popular in his home country. Zhou Guanyu in his Alfa Romeo takes part in Formula One's Mexican Grand Prix in October. There was a lack of Chinese racing role models, so he created a path of his own. He began go-karting – where many top drivers cut their teeth as young F1 hopefuls – not long after that maiden Chinese Grand Prix. Zhou Guanyu lines up for the Mexican Grand Prix in October.
