F1 Chinese Grand Prix Practice Today: Start times, schedule and ESPN TV
Find out all the details for the 2024 Chinese Grand Prix practice session, including start time and how to watch in your region.
F1 finally returns to China this weekend after a five-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the passage of time and regulation changes have effectively turned the Shanghai International Circuit into a new track for this generation of F1 machinery.
The Chinese GP also sees the first Sprint of the season, which adds another layer of intrigue. Unlike usual race weekends with three practice sessions, teams will only have a single-hour window on Friday morning to gather data and dial in their cars.
This session becomes paramount, as the learnings gleaned here will directly translate into setup choices for the all-important Sprint Qualifying (Sprint Shootout) later that afternoon.
Now, let's take a look at the practice time and how you can catch all the action from Shanghai.
