It's almost time for the second grand prix of the season!
Kimi Antonelli will start the Chinese Grand Prix from the front row of the grid as he sets his sights on a maiden race victory.
However, he will have his team-mate George Russell hot on his heels, as well as the Ferrari duo of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc.
And what can Red Bull do, after enduring a very challenging qualifying session on Saturday?
The race starts at 15:00 local time in China, which is a 06:00 GMT start time in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
