A new track in 2004 with state of the art
facilities for teams and spectators. A mixture
of fast straights and tight turns. Time will
tell if becomes a great circuit, but it reflects
F1's move into new markets.The 2011 race was an exciting race with lots of overtaking, that was won by Lewis Hamilton from Sebastian Vettel. Mark Webber had problems during qualifying and started 18th, but fought through the field to finish third.
The 2010 race was again wet, but superb drives by Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton gave McLaren first and second in the race. Red Bull were on pole, but failed to deliver in the race and Michael Schumacher was disappointing in 10th, given his reputation as a great wet weather driver
The 2009 race was very wet and saw Sebastian Vettel give Red Bull their first win.
