After a incident-packed season-opening Australian Grand Prix, F1 heads to Shanghai this weekend for the Chinese Grand Prix and the first Sprint event of the season.

Lando Norris will be full of confidence after his win in Melbourne as he held off defending champion Max Verstappen in the final few laps with a commanding performance in tricky conditions.

Ferarri duo Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc will be hoping for a change in fortunes after a disappointing time at the Albert Park circuit, where a bad qualifying and wrong strategy left them with a measly 5 points.

A Sprint weekend means there will be competitive sessions from Sprint Qualifying on Friday onwards, and you can watch it all on beIN SPORTS and beIN SPORTS CONNECT. 

Racing enthusiasts will also be glad to see the start of the 2025 F1 Academy in Shanghai, so there will be plenty of racing on your screens this week.
