Jake Humphrey hosts coverage of the Chinese Grand Prix, the third round of the 2009 Formula 1 season. The spectacular circuit in Shanghai is one of the most modern in motorsport, and five different drivers from five different countries have won the five races held here since the circuit made its Formula 1 debut in 2004.

The race is usually held towards the end of the season but this year has been brought forward in the calendar. It will be interesting to see what effect, if any, the different conditions will have on the leading contenders.

It is just three weeks since the spectacular opening race of the 2009 season in Melbourne. Will world champion Lewis Hamilton be on the pace that looks to be set by the new kids on the block, the Brawn GP cars of Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello?
