#ChineseGP 🇨🇳 | It’s race week and a sprint weekend!
The tyre selection for the Chinese Grand Prix weekend remains unchanged since the circuit returned to the calendar two years ago. Teams will use the C2 hard, C3 medium, and C4 soft.
The track features two main straights and sixteen corners. The first straight connects Turn 13 (slightly banked) to Turn 14, while the second, over one kilometre long, hosts the starting grid.
Some corners are very fast, such as the S section formed by turns 7 and 8, while others are much slower, like the combinations of turns 1 and 3, 6, and 14.
These sequences, combined with the high‑speed sections, make the track demanding on tyres and pose a challenge for energy recovery with the new power units.
‼️ The lap‑time simulations received by the teams are close to last year’s performance figures. Despite having completely different cars, the Straight Mode zones evidently compensate for the drop in speed of the new generation of cars compared to the previous one.
