The 5.451km track at the Shanghai International Circuit welcomes F1 drivers and fans to experience Formula One's most expensive circuit costing $240 million. Designed by Hermann Tilke, this circuit lives up to its reputation for having some of the trickiest corner combinations on the schedule. The track begins on a 270 degree slope through turns 1 and 2 which requires drivers to step on the gas while maintaining control through tight turns throughout the track's design. The Chinese Grand Prix has crowned a new champion in each of its previous races but McLaren-Mercedes driver and winner of last year's grand prix Jenson Button will look to put an end to that trend this year.
