Tune in to the Chinese Grand Prix on Sunday morning at 7am ahead of what is poised to be an exciting and unpredictable battle for the season’s second race win – live on Sky Sports F1.
After Lewis Hamilton dominated the Sprint events in Shanghai to claim his first triumph as a Ferrari driver, early title leaders McLaren bounced back in main qualifying with Oscar Piastri impressively delivering the first Grand Prix pole position of his career.
But with George Russell alongside the Australian on the front row after a brilliant last-gap lap in his Mercedes, points leader Lando Norris in third and Max Verstappen fourth ahead of the Ferrari pair of Hamilton and Charles Leclerc, a 58-lap Grand Prix on an overtaking-friendly track in which strategy is poised to be pivotal is not to be missed.
Sky Sports F1’s live build-up from the Shanghai International Circuit starts at 5.30am on Sunday morning ahead of lights out for the race at 7am.
Highlights from the Sprint race from the Chinese Grand Prix
F1 Academy has also begun its new season in Shanghai, with race two of the all-female series taking place before the Grand Prix at 2.40am.
Chinese GP track – Shanghai International Circuit
The moment Sebastien Buemi had both his front tyres explode off his Toro Rosso car during practice at the 2010 Chinese Grand Prix
China joined the F1 calendar in 2004 and every race has been held at the Shanghai International Circuit, which is known for high tyre wear and long back straight where there is plenty of overtaking into the Turn 14 hairpin.
F1 returned to Shanghai for the first time in five years in 2024, as the event was absent due to the coronavirus pandemic, so there is little recent data for the teams compared to other tracks on the schedule.
The smooth track surface and long, high-speed corners means the car with the best aerodynamics will stand out.

For the first time in nearly two years, Jose Altuve did not bat in the leadoff spot when the Houston Astros played the Detroit Tigers on Monday.The 15-year veteran requested the change, according to Astros manager Joe Espada. And he did so because of his move to left field this season."I just told Joe that maybe he can hit me second some games at some point and he did it today,” Altuve explained, via the Associated Press. “I just need like that little extra time to come from left field, and he decided to put Jeremy [Peña] there.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementPeña, Houston's shortstop, has the second-best on-base percentage on the team at .327. Only third baseman Isaac Paredes, who bats fourth, is better at .342. Altuve's OBP is .310, down from his career mark of .362.“I just need like 10 more seconds,” Altuve […]

Heat Culture is finally starting to show cracks, so what’s next for Miami after getting swept by the Cavs?
Getty Images The San Antonio Spurs were the picture of NBA stability for the better part of 20 years. Then Tim Duncan retired. Within two years, LaMarcus Aldridge had attempted to force a trade and Kawhi Leonard actually succeeded in doing so. The Spurs are only now emerging from the mediocrity that followed, and the biggest reason they've done so is not some internal recalibration, but a few lucky ping pong balls on lottery night. NBA team cultures are fickle. The league changes quickly. If you're standing still, you're probably moving backward.Which brings us to the Miami Heat, a team so confident in its culture that in 2023 it literally started wearing a jersey with the words "Heat Culture" embroidered on the chest. For three decades or so, Heat Culture was nearly impenetrable. The Pat Riley era has included more […]

Exeter suspend coaches Hunter, Hepher after record Gloucester mauling
Exeter chair Tony Rowe has suspended coaches Rob Hunter and Ali Hepher following the Chiefs' record Gallagher Premiership defeat against Gloucester.Hunter took over from Hepher as head coach in March, with Hepher being handed a role overseeing Exeter's backs and attacking strategy until the end of this season.

Rowe said: "No final decision regarding the club's coaching structure going forward has been made, and it would be improper to make any further comment until all internal procedures have been completed."

Fury hints at retirement reversal as he reunites with Steward
Could we see Tyson Fury back in the ring?The 36-year-old, never one to be out of the headlines for long, released a cryptic social media video on Monday alongside former trainer SugarHill Steward which teased a return to boxing could be on the cards. Fury retired from boxing in January in the aftermath of his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk, but given his previous track record of reversing retirement decisions, the announcement was taken with a pinch of salt.Having returned from four previous retirements, and with the prospect of an all-British heavyweight showdown with Anthony Joshua still on the table, Fury's reunion with Steward in a boxing gym suggests one final chapter could yet be written."Just in the gym.

Up front or in midfield, Merino could hold key for Arsenal against PSG
Few would have believed it earlier this season, when there were questions around the wisdom of signing him, but Mikel Merino faces Paris Saint-Germain this week as one of the most important players to Arsenal's hopes of reaching the Champions League final. The 28-year-old has excelled since being put up front by Mikel Arteta, providing six goals and four assists in 13 games, his best displays yet coming in the last-eight win over Real Madrid, when he scored in the first leg and set up both goals in the second. News of his return to training this week comes as a major boost. Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka took most of the plaudits at the Bernabeu but Merino was just as good, his contribution rewarding the faith of his manager and calling to mind conversations with some of those who […]
‘We have to become even better’ – where can Liverpool improve?
Arne Slot has masterminded Liverpool's record-equalling 20th top-flight title, but, worryingly for the rest of the Premier League, the Dutchman says his side will only get better next season - so where can the champions strengthen?Slot may have become the first Dutch coach to win the Premier League after the Reds dismantled Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield on Sunday, but it has not taken long for the Liverpool head coach to start turning his attention towards defending the title next season. "We can definitely improve," Slot said ominously when asked to look back on his incredible debut campaign in charge at the club. "I think we have to become even better." Liverpool need at least five or six players - three to go straight in the team and three to be strong backups - with still so many areas of the […]
