The 2007 Chinese GP Preview
Lewis Hamilton could make history in China this weekend, but Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen will do their best to delay his celebrations. Tom Keeble analyses the prospects ahead of the penultimate race of the season
Analysis
Shanghai is a technical, challenging circuit, with a couple of relatively long straights connected with a flowing series of corners. Like other Herman-Tilke designed circuits, it stretches the drivers as well as the cars, and offers opportunity for overtaking.
The challenge starts with the first corner, where the cars brake from near maximum speed for a long, tightening right hand corner. Another tough left hand corner further round the lap means that there is a huge load on the both the front tyres, ensuring they get a real workout.
