Ahead of the 100th Formula One race in China, McLaren [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/] driver Lando Norris and Williams [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/williams/] driver George Russell [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/george-russell/] unveiled new helmets for the weekend. Norris’ helmet sported his name emblazoned in Chinese, which was quite fitting, given the location of the race this weekend. [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Screenshot-2019-04-10-at-12.48.58-PM.png]Lando Norris gives a sneak peek at his helmet Meanwhile, Williams driver George Russell’s new lid bore a resemblance to the helmet of a certain Juan Pablo Montoya [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Pablo_Montoya]. The Colombian sported the same colours during his Formula One days. Coincidentally, Montoya is a former Williams F1 driver himself and has been quite successful inspite of not winning any title. As expected, the jokes and memes came flooding in and Mercedes were one of the first to poke fun. For now, Lando Norris and George Russell are looking forward to the Chinese GP and will be hoping for a good result. 

To commemorate the 1000th Formula One race, Lando Norris and George Russell
unveiled special helmets to celebrate the occasion

<h2>Chinese Grand Prix - Winners, Qualifying, Circuits, Track</h2>
The Chinese Grand Prix has been a constant host of F1 races since 2004. It had earned itself the reputation for being the most expensive circuit until 2009, when the Abu Dhabi Circuit came into existence.

The Shanghai International Circuit, designed by the Tilke Company, ranks among the most adventurous and challenging circuits in the world. The pattern of the circuit is the first letter from 'Shanghai,' which translates to 'ascend'.

The concept of bringing Chinese soil to F1 racing ground started in the 1990s. The first track, the Zhuhai International Circuit, was not appropriate for staging a Grand Prix, as marked by the FIA. But the country’s government was determined to host the Chinese Grand Prix.

In 2004, they announced the Shanghai International Circuit to be the track for all upcoming races.

The COVID-19 situation has, however, affected the calendar which led to the cancellation of this season’s race. There is major planning underway to get back to the sport next season.

<h2>Circuit Details</h2>
The Circuit of Shanghai is famous for its layout, which makes the race extremely thrilling.

The track measures 5.451 kilometers and has 16 turns. The circuit provides 56 laps that are covered in the entire duration of the race, which covers 305.066 kilometers.

This circuit is much more complicated than the other F1 registered circuits that exist. The first four laps that form the "snails" are the most challenging part of the circuit.

The other laps are considerably less complicated, with proper tactics of racing. The racers are fond of lap 7 and 8, which have chicanes that allow smooth overtaking.

Lap 11 to 14 provides the next set of a complicated pattern that affects the pace of a racer. It includes sharp and testing chicanes and a lengthy right-hander that leads to extreme pressure on the racer to keep up with their proper performance.

The Shanghai International Circuit, which has achieved FIA Grade 1 promises to give an event packed with thrill and adventure, ensuring safety protocols don't take a backseat.
<h2>Where to Watch</h2>
To tune into the racing event in Asia, Australia, and Latin America, one must have access to Fox Sports. Africa can watch it on SuperSport while viewers from the Indian subcontinent will have access to it from the Star Sports network.

<strong>History</strong>

The Formula One World Championship first started back in 1950. The very first F1 champion was Italy's Guiseppe Farina who raced for Alfa Romeo.

The sport has had 33 different champions in its history and a few of them are multiple championship winners. Currently, the driver with the most championships is <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/michael-schumacher/">Michael Schumacher</a> with 7 under his belt. However, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> driver <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lewis-hamilton/">Lewis Hamilton</a> will be eager to overhaul that. Hamilton currently holds 6 World Championships and stands on the cusp of equalling Michael Schumacher's record at the end of the season.

For a long time, Bernie Ecclestone was the F1 supremo, having founded the Formula One Group. He spent 40 years as chief executive of the company after gaining control of the commercial rights.

But in 2017, he stepped down and ownership was handed to Liberty Media who have been taking care of F1 since then. To herald their control, they even changed the F1 logo.

Chase Carey was the first F1 CEO in the 'liberty era' of F1 and will be stepping down at the end of the year. Former Ferrari team principal Stefano Domenicali will succeed the American in 2021.

The Formula One world championship is considered by many to be the pinnacle of motorsport.

<h3><strong>George Russell: 2021 Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h3>
George Russell is a British racing driver. He has been an incredible asset to the historic Williams F1 team alongside his teammate, Nicolas Latifi. The Briton is also a Mercedes junior driver, which has now led him to secure a seat for the 2022 F1 season alongside 7-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton.

He also got a chance to drive the Mercedes F1 car during the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton missed the race due to Covid-19. Russell almost pulled off a stunning race victory only for the team to mess up the strategy and deny him of it.

Like all other drivers, Russell began his racing career in karting. He first began competing in 2006 and has not looked back since then.

<h3><strong>On-track Achievements</strong></h3>
Russell took his first championship, the 2014 BRDC Formula 4 Championship. He fended off challenges from the likes of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arjun_Maini">Arjun Maini</a> and Raoul Hyman.

A year later, he placed sixth at the 2015 FIA Formula 3 European Championship. But in 2016, he improved his position to 3rd in the championship.

He moved to the GP3 series in 2017 and became a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mercedes">Mercedes</a> and Force India test driver. In the same year, he won the GP3 title from compatriot Jack Aitken.

During the following year, Russell joined the FIA Formula 2 Championship and won it in his very first season. He fended off the likes of fellow F1 newcomers <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lando-norris/">Lando Norris</a> and <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-albon/">Alexander Albon</a>.

Following his Formula 2 championship win, Russell signed for Williams in 2019, making his début at the 2019 Australian Grand Prix, alongside Robert Kubica.

Russell is contracted to drive for Williams until the conclusion of the 2021 season. After a tough couple of seasons, Russell finally broke the point-less streak at the 2021 Hungarian GP, where he secured his first points for the team. Soon, over the very next race weekend at Spa, he also managed to claim his first podium, followed by another top 10 finish at Sochi. As of the Russian GP, Russell has managed to secure a total of 19 points in his career.

Following the 2021 season, Russell will be making a giant leap onto the championship-winning Mercedes AMG, replacing Valtteri Bottas.
<h3>George Russell: 2021 Net Worth</h3>
<a href="https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1495177/George-Russell-net-worth" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reports</a> claim that Russell's net worth is around $1 million, but of course, the Briton is still lurking amongst the early stages of his career. Hence, the number will indeed rise in the coming years. Also, Russell's salary is likely around $1.2 million per year. However, now that a move to Mercedes is in the offing, his salary is set to take a steep rise.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Lando Norris: Stats and On-track Achievements</strong></h2>
During the 2017 Formula 3 season, the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/">McLaren</a> #4 driver won the very first race of the season. He followed it up with a podium in Round 3, both races at Silverstone. Since then, Lando Norris went on a 5-race podium streak, including a win. But it was halted at Race 3 of the Pau Grand Prix. Unfazed, he scored six podiums and seven wins to seal the Championship.

During the 2018 Formula 2 season, he claimed a season-opening victory, this time in Bahrain. However, it would be the only win he took all season. But he managed to follow it up with eight podiums to finish 2nd in the Championship.

The 2019 Formula 1 season was his first-ever season among the elite. He was partnered by Spanish driver <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Sainz_Jr." target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carlos Sainz Jr.</a>Â atÂ McLaren. The 2021 F1 season has been the most successful season for Norris, having garnered a total of 4 podiums, and almost secured his first-ever top 5 finish in the drivers' standings.

He finished 7th in the Drivers' Championship with 122 points in the 2022 season, 38 points less than what he had managed in the previous season.

The 2023 season witnessed rookie Oscar Piastri replacing Daniel Ricciardo as Norris' new teammate.

After holding the record for the most podiums without a win, the situation turned around for Lando Norris, who won his first race at the 2024 Miami Grand Prix. His first race win brought him to 83 points where he tied at P4 in the driver's championship. Norris had the lead after the safety car incident and, since lap 33, he knew he would win the race. This makes him the 114th Grand Prix winner in the history of the sport.
