SHANGHAI (AP) — The Chinese Grand Prix could deliver some much-needed drama to Formula One, meaning Red Bull’s Max Verstappen can’t be penciled in as the almost-certain winner on Sunday.
The three-time world champion has won 22 of the last 26 GPs and three of the first four this season. Only brake failure in Australia kept him from possibly sweeping the first four races.
“It’s got the probability of throwing up quite a few variables and, perhaps, some unexpected results,” Red Bull principal Christian Horner said Friday. ”I think it’s going to be all action.”
Here’s why.
The track is a slight unknown. This is the first F1 race in China in five years, scratched from the calendar by the COVID-19 pandemic. The last was won in 2019 by Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton.
It’s also the season’s first with a Saturday sprint race, which means Friday’s practice session was the only one of the weekend.
