China

 

With the same designer as the Sepang circuit, this track again features a long back straight followed by a hairpin turn. First hosted in 2004 and the track costing $450 million, the inaugural race was won by Rubens Barrichello in his Ferrari. That same race saw Michael Schumacher posting the lap record of 1:32.238. In jeopardy of the track being excluded in the F1 calendar due to disputes in fees, it was only on February 2011 that a new agreement was reached to have the track host F1 races until 2017. This track also features one of the trickiest corner combinations in F1 with Turn 1 and 2 appearing to be very demanding as it requires a lot of entry speed with the track tightening up towards the end. This, again, would be a very fun track to watch.
