The Chinese Grand Prix (UBS Chinese Grand Prix) since the 2004 season, part of the Formula 1 race calendar. The races will take place at the Shanghai International Circuit , which opened in Shanghai in the People's Republic of China in 2004 . This racing course is based on the shape of the Chinese character shàng 上 (highest, uppermost; "shang" from "Shanghai").

The Shanghai International Circuit was designed for the highest speeds of all previous Formula 1 circuits. This also had an effect on the braking points at the end of the long straight, where the track surface undulated as a result of the loads.
