Round two of the 2025 Formula 1 season heads to the Shanghai International Circuit for the Chinese Grand Prix from 21-23 March. China is the first of six sprint events this season, with Miami, Belgium, Austin, Brazil and Qatar hosting the other five. Tyre supplier Pirelli has chosen the C2 (white, hard), C3 (yellow, medium) and C4 (red, soft) compounds for the 56-lap race in Shanghai. Sunday's race starts at 07:00 GMT. McLaren's Lando Norris triumphed in an incident-packed Australian Grand Prix, beating world champion Max Verstappen and Mercedes' George Russell to take victory in treacherous conditions.
