Chinese Grand Prix

Chinese Grand Prix is held at the Shanghai International Circuit, which is the most expensive Formula 1 circuit costing $240 millions to build.

Still, the future of the Chinese Grand Prix is uncertain.

After hosting only 5 races since 2004, the Chinese government is expected to announce the end the country’s involvement with Formula 1 racing.

The event is loss making with “hired spectators” being transported to the venue to make up for poor attendance.

The future of the race is not helped by the fact that its former manager Yu Zhifei was involved in a high profile corruption scandal.
