Chinese Grand Prix
The title of this article is ambiguous. For motorcycle racing, see Chinese Grand Prix (motorcycle).
The UBS Chinese Grand Prix was part of the Formula One racing calendar between 2004 and 2019. The races take place at the Shanghai International Circuit, which began operating in 2004 in Shanghai in the People's Republic of China. This circuit is modelled on the shape of the Chinese character shàng 上 (highest, uppermost; "shang" of "Shanghai").
The Shanghai International Circuit was designed for the highest speeds of all previous Formula 1 circuits. This also had an effect on the braking points at the end of the long straights, where the track surface undulated as a result of the loads.
