Murray Barnett says F1 would 'love' second Chinese race

Formula 1's Head of global sponsorship, Murray Barnett, has said that Formula 1 would 'love' a second Chinese Grand Prix.

China has become a real hotbed for Formula 1 and car manufacturers are really interested in trying to establish themselves in the Chinese market.

Formula 1 is looking to hold a second Chinese Grand Prix according to the head of global sponsorship, Murray Barnett.

The Chinese Grand Prix is always a successful race and has become one of the big races in Formula 1.

Murray Barnett told China's state news agency Xinhua as quoted by Autosport, "We would love to have a second race here.

Barnett thinks that the local interest needs to match the interest of Formula 1 before any plans can be made.

Barnett looked to previous attempts by Formula 1 in South Korea and India and said that they would learn from those mistakes.

"We've learned what we did wrong in those races," he said.

In previous years there have been questions over the levels of smog but it is clear to see that there is a lot of interest in growing the Formula 1 brand in China.
