Shanghai is an incredible city and the circuit is a fantastic test for our drivers, so I am delighted that Formula 1 will continue its successful partnership with the Chinese Grand Prix for another five years. I would like to thank our promoter for their continued commitment and passion, and I look forward to returning to Shanghai next year. »
