Formula 1 drivers and teams are preparing for the uncertainties that come with the return of the Chinese Grand Prix circuit after five years of absence. Red Bull is no exception to the challenges that lie ahead. Discussions during the F1 media day in Shanghai on Thursday focused on the questions surrounding the track and how it has changed since the last race in 2019. While Max Verstappen suffered a brake failure in Melbourne, Red Bull was vulnerable to Ferrari on race day and could have faced a threat in a direct competition. The true speed of Ferrari on that day remains unknown, but this weekend may provide some answers. The nature of the Shanghai circuit, which was front limited in the past, suggests a possible threat from Ferrari. Red Bull is aware of this, with Sergio Perez stating that the team expects to have a bit more difficulty on this type of circuit. Despite the challenges, Red Bull remains optimistic and hopes to show better resistance to front tire wear. Verstappen believes he discovered something in Melbourne that he couldn’t demonstrate on race day and sees differences between the two tracks. The front limited nature of the Shanghai circuit, with its long corners, may favor Ferrari’s skills, as they performed well in Melbourne, where front tire wear was a major limitation. Carlos Sainz believes Ferrari may challenge Red Bull on certain tracks this year, but Shanghai may not be one of them. He hopes to be proven wrong and wants to present a stronger challenge to Red Bull than they did in Suzuka. Sainz believes the team’s success may depend on the track surface, which is causing much discussion and confusion. The surface has been described as “painted” by many drivers, with differing opinions on how it will affect the race. The painted surface is unknown in F1 circles but has been recognized in other forms of racing. The behavior of the surface is difficult to predict, and no one is sure how it will affect the race. There are suggestions that the painted surface will clean up quickly, while others expect it to persist. The track surface is also less rough than in 2019, which may impact tire wear. Inconsistencies in grip levels, even within individual corners, are a major concern for teams. Despite the uncertainties, it is not expected to be as problematic as the surface at the Turkish Grand Prix location in 2020. The track surface will play a significant role in the race, and teams will need to manage their tire choices properly. With only 60 minutes of free practice before the sprint qualifying, FP1 will be crucial to understanding how the tires behave and evolve. Changes are expected throughout the weekend, and wear may be a bigger issue early in the weekend. High tire pressures will require careful management during the races. The uncertainty surrounding the track surface, combined with the fact that F1 has not raced in Shanghai since 2019, presents additional challenges. The sprint format adds another layer of complexity, with teams having the opportunity to adjust their settings based on what they learn during sprint activities. The reduced duration of the sprint means there are fewer laps to make mistakes that could lead to exclusions. Teams will have limited time to make changes based on what they learn, but this could make a difference in qualifying for the Grand Prix. The last corner of the Shanghai circuit has been modified, with a gravel trap replacing the asphalt runoff area. Several bumps and artificial grass around the circuit have also been removed.
