Sprint Weekend Madness: Formula 1’s Return to China with Unpredictable Weather and a Crazy Line-Up

2024-04-19 18:02:00

​The frantic pace of a sprint weekend is one thing, plus Formula 1’s first appearance in China in five years and the moody weather. Result: Crazy starting line-up for the sprint.

For Saturday 20 April, the following applies to Formula 1 fans: It’s worth setting the alarm clock! Starting at. At 04.30 we go online with our popular live ticker to inform you about the sprint to the Chinese Grand Prix.

Everything is set for some juicy surprises: the Formula 1 drivers haven’t been to the Shanghai International Circuit since 2019 and have only had one free practice session before the sprint qualifying to get the car to its best on the track. Of course, the cars are not yet ideally tuned.

The unsettled weather remains a big question mark this weekend, plus a track surface that has been resurfaced (not resurfaced) by the Chinese and that means – different grip in different places. The many slips in the first training session could not be overlooked, and when it started to rain in the sprint qualifying, Things were going full steam ahead.

Sprint qualifying ended with Lando Norris setting the fastest time, ahead of Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso, but fourth-placed Max Verstappen is aiming for his ninth sprint victory.

We will keep you updated with our popular live ticker on 20 April on how the sprint from China develops and then the qualifying for the Grand Prix, from 4.30 for the sprint, from 8.45 for the last practice for the Grand Prix. . You will of course also find the most important broadcast dates from Sky, ServusTV, ORF and SRF here as a service.
