Race Review: Chinese Grand Prix 2026
The Chinese Grand Prix takes place at the magnificent Shanghai International Circuit, a world-class facility designed by Hermann Tilke that alternates long straights with high-speed corners and technical chicanes. The track is particularly demanding on the rear tyres, making strategy a decisive factor.
The 2026 Chinese Grand Prix, held from March 13 to 15, was won by Kimi Antonelli, who finished ahead of George Russell and Lewis Hamilton. The race, counting as Round 2 of the World Championship, delivered the kind of overtakes the Shanghai International Circuit always produces thanks to its long back straight and the high tyre degradation it demands from drivers.
Temperatures in Shanghai in March can drop considerably, creating variable grip conditions that test the adaptability of teams and drivers alike. This is a circuit where aerodynamics and tyre degradation management make all the difference.
