It was a thrilling start to the 2025 F1 season in Albert Park last weekend with Lando Norris sealing victory from Max Verstappen and George Russell.

But there’s no time to rest on those laurels as the F1 circus heads to the Shanghai International Circuit for this weekend’s Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix.

While Norris heads in with a championship lead, his McLaren team-mate Oscar Piastri will be looking to bounce back from a late-race error in Melbourne that dropped him out of contention for victory.

He salvaged ninth at the flag after an audacious pass on Lewis Hamilton on the final lap, Ferrari proving surprisingly weak in Australia.

That is not expected to continue with the paddock still eying the prancing horse as a contender this season – the question is whether that will see its fortunes improve in China.

Looking for more this weekend will be Liam Lawson who had a rough start to life as a Red Bull driver.

Reliability gremlins curtailed his practice running before a late crash – a result of a strategy gamble after he started from pit lane – saw him failed to finish on Sunday.

He’ll be looking forward to bouncing back and silencing the critics.

Jack Doohan did much to ease the pressure he’s been under of late, despite crashing out on the opening lap.

He showed good pace throughout the weekend and was caught out in the tricky conditions in Melbourne.

His Alpine has looked rapid, a points contender in any ordinary circumstance, and it’s expected he and Pierre Gasly will be in the mix again in Shanghai.

There, Doohan will be looking to complete more than half a lap, though team boss Oliver Oakes has suggested he’s made a good first step in 2025.

What is the weather for the Chinese Grand Prix?

Conditions in Shanghai look perfect for racing, with stable temperatures across the three days.

Opening practice will take place under 22 degree sunshine, with the mercury rising a degree for Saturday, which will see the Sprint and Qualifying.

Sunday’s race will also take place under cloudy skies, with temperatures forecast to reach 25 degrees.
