Chinese Grand Prix coverage on the BBC
April 13, 2011 · 0 Comments
It’s another BBC F1 weekend as Jake Humphrey presents live coverage of the Chinese Grand Prix from Shanghai over the weekend of 15-17 April on BBC One and the Red Button service.
So far this season, Sebastian Vettel has retained his flawless record after another triumph for Red Bull Racing at the Malaysian Grand Prix in Sepang, however focus now shifts to the Shanghai International Circuit .
If this year’s race is half as good as last year’s, it should be well worth setting the alarm clock for the early start. Jenson Button topped the podium 12 months ago, when wet conditions resulted in a thrilling race. Button finished ahead of McLaren team-mate and fellow Briton Lewis Hamilton, with Nico Rosberg third. Red Bull duo Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber began the race on the front row of the grid, but finished sixth and eighth, respectively, after struggling in the rain.
