Shanghai works to remove bumps ahead of F1 return
F1 will be racing in Shanghai for the first time since 2019, with ground effect cars introduced for the first time this year. The track in Shanghai presents challenges due to bumps stemming from its marshy foundation. Repairs have been made to smooth out the track before the upcoming race weekend. The condition of the surface remains uncertain, and teams have limited data to rely on. The lack of familiarity poses a significant challenge for both the teams and Pirelli engineers. Additionally, new grandstands are being constructed to accommodate the anticipated sell-out crowd for the race.
