The design of Shanghai International Circuit inherits and develops China’s traditional culture and historical heritage. The stylized Chinese character “上” (meaning “up”) shaped track embodies the meaning of striving for excellence and performing brilliantly. Through its shape, color, and materials, the circuit perfectly combines innovative interpretation with the extension of tradition. The main architectural complex—including the main grandstand, team pits, control tower, administrative tower, sky restaurant, and press center—represents the majestic and magnificent aspects of traditional Chinese culture.

The light-transmitting holes on the top of the grandstand are designed based on the Chinese lantern, using red and yellow as the main colors, symbolizing luck and strength. Another iconic building is the team hospitality area, which draws inspiration from Shanghai’s Yu Garden. This area serves as a tranquil and pleasant island amidst the noisy and fast-paced world, where drivers and staff can rest and recharge.
