Description

The 2009 Chinese Grand Prix was a historic Formula 1 race held on 19 April 2009 at the Shanghai International Circuit. It marked the first-ever pole position, race victory, and 1–2 finish for Red Bull Racing as a constructor.
The race was held in torrential rain, forcing the first eight laps to be run entirely behind the safety car. Sebastian Vettel dominated from pole position, leading home teammate Mark Webber, while championship leader Jenson Button finished third.
National Anthem Blunder: During the podium celebration, the organizers mistakenly played the British national anthem ("God Save the Queen") for the winning constructor, Red Bull Racing, instead of the Austrian national anthem.
