We are heading to the 2025 F1 Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai after a tough and grueling race in Australia. The Albert Park circuit proved racing is not just about pace and performance, but it is also about making the right decisions at the right time even with a slower car.

How to Watch the Chinese Grand Prix?
Like the Australian Grand Prix, fans can watch the Chinese GP using F1 TV. Indian fans can watch the races through the Fancode app that streams the entire race without missing the live action. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices. It can also be streamed on your Smart TV as the Fancode is an OTT app. For a complete seasonal pass of Rs.999, we can watch F1+ MotoGP races for the entire 2025 season.
Expectations from the Chinese race track?
The Shanghai circuit has a smooth race track which sometimes feels slippery for drivers and if there is any rain it makes it worse. The track is a testing ground for aerodynamics and performance as it has high-speed straights and corners. The track also allows drivers huge overtaking opportunities, so teams like McLaren, Williams, and Ferrari will have a great opportunity to perform well and finish on the podiums. Max Verstappen and Red Bull are expected to test some of their aero packages which they will bring to improve the balance and performance of their cars to close in with the McLaren's.
