Shanghai prepares for a high-speed showdown
The championship fight is heating up as Formula E descends upon the Shanghai International Circuit for Rounds 12 and 13. This 3.051km layout, designed by Hermann Tilke, is a high-speed, unforgiving beast known for its unique character-inspired design and prime overtaking opportunities. It is a track that demands precision, and with the season standings as tight as they are, expect nothing less than absolute chaos.
The action kicks off Friday, July 2, with Free Practice 1 at 16:00 local time. Saturday and Sunday follow a rigorous schedule, with the main E-Prix sessions both starting at 15:05. If you want to follow every shift in the standings, live timing and race commentary are available via the official Formula E app and web portal.
Looking back at the season so far, the competition has been relentless. From Jake Dennis turning Julius Baer Pole Position into a victory for Andretti in Brazil and again in Sanya, to Nick Cassidy’s stunning charge from 13th to win for Citroën Racing, the form book has been torn up repeatedly. With heavy hitters like Mitch Evans, Pascal Wehrlein, Antonio Felix da Costa, Nico Müller, Nyck de Vries, and Oliver Rowland all finding the top step of the podium this year, Shanghai is set to be another wild chapter in a truly unpredictable season.
