Formula One returns to Shanghai from March 13 to 15, bringing the Chinese Grand Prix back into the global spotlight. According to F1, its fan base in China reached over 221 million in 2025, marking a 39% year-on-year increase and solidifying China as one of its fastest-growing markets. China's fan base is also notably younger and more diverse. Oracle Red Bull Racing CEO and Team Principal Laurent Mekies says this surge is only the beginning, unlocking new engagement opportunities.
