2010 Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix
Shanghai International Circuit is 5.451 km long and features 16 corners, nine right-handers and seven left-handers. In common with many other new Formula 1 circuits, it was designed by Hermann Tilke.
The circuit is ideal for overtaking as it has the longest straight on the Formula 1 race calendar.
Shanghai International Circuit took just 18 months to complete. The load on the soil would be too heavy to take; therefore 40,000 stone pillars were inserted into the marshland to give a stable base for the track.
