As we approach the 3rd F1 Race weekend of the 2015 season, it's time to go over the next circuit!

"Shanghai International Circuit" is located in Jiading, Shanghai, China. It first opened in 2004 and is the current host-site of the Chinese GP in Formula 1. The circuit has 16 turns and runs clockwise like most other circuits. The total capacity is 200,000 and always draws in an impressive and amazing crowd of fans and spectators. It's 3.387 miles in length and the race consists of a total of 56 laps.

In 2014, Lewis Hamilton started on Pole Position and went on to win the race with team-mate, Nico Rosberg, coming in Second and Fernando Alonso in Third. Retirements included Adrian Sutil (Engine Failure) & Romain Grosjean (Gearbox Failure).

We're definitely looking forward to this race and of course we'll have LIVE COMMENTARY coverage of all 3 Free Practice Sessions on our Twitter @F1Insider78 - So go give us a follow.
