Formula 1 descends on the Shanghai International Circuit for the fifth round of the 2024 world championship.
It marks the first time in five years that the sport has visited the Chinese track - a lot has changed in F1 in that time.
Max Verstappen enters the round having won three out of the opening four rounds, while team-mate Sergio Perez follows him in the drivers' standings.
The FP1 session will mark the only practice outing in Shanghai as the sprint format makes its first appearance of the year.
