2024 F1 CHINESE GRAND PRIX SESSION TIMINGS AND PREVIEW
The Shanghai International Circuit is gearing up to host F1 for the first time since 2019, following a four-year COVID-induced hiatus.
China will also stage the first sprint of 2024, and the format for this year has been tweaked.
The shootout for the sprint will now take place on Friday afternoon after a single practice session earlier in the day.
The sprint itself will be held on Saturday morning, with the main qualifying for the grand prix following later in the day.
