The city of Shanghai gets F1 fever every year spring as the nightlife revs up for a weekend of full throttle partying. Everyone and their dog gets in on the action and there are F1-themed events a-go-go, with checkered flags, hot chicks in jump suits and some fast-lane livin' with Riviera Events usually taking pole position. The real VIPs tend to party behind closed doors at strictly-invite only affairs but keep your eyes peeled in the city's finer eating establishments and you can play F1 driver bingo.

If you're looking for glitz 'n' glamor then the classic Bund haunts like Bar Rouge and M1NT will no doubt be putting on the ritz. If grungy dive bars are more up your alley check out the likes of Windows and I Love Shanghai.  Nurse your hangover with a China F1-themed brunch at one of Shanghai's 5-star hotels—there's so much going on that even if you never make it out to the track you can say you've done the Grand Prix in Shanghai!

Events listings will be updated closer to the event.
