Just as soon as the Malaysian Grand Prix is over and Sebastian Vettel has downed a few glasses of champagne, the teams will immediately fly off to the world’s most populous country for round three of the 2011 F1 world championship.
The Chinese GP takes place at the Shanghai International Circuit where temperatures will be similar to those of Malaysia, so three to four stops can again be expected.
The long-range weather report suggests a dry three days so once again we may not get to see the Pirelli wet tyres in action.
It’s set to be a thriller, but can anyone stop Vettel’s qualifying and race domination? The quickest way to find out is to watch all the action live so we’ve provided all the times for each session below in local and UK (BST) times.
