This is the start time of the 2024 Grand Prix in China

After the last edition of the Chinese GP in 2019, we can once again enjoy the return of this iconic Grand Prix this year. Due to safety reasons related to COVID-19, the race in Shanghai was off the calendar for a long time, but that changes this year. The big favorite Max Verstappen has never won in Shanghai before and can achieve a new milestone this weekend. Additionally, local hero Zhou Guanyu is determined to make his mark during the races.

The race begins on Sunday, April 21 at 08:00 AM GMT.
