SHANGHAI (Reuters) - The Chinese Formula One Grand Prix will go ahead as planned on Sunday with an upgraded medical facility near the Shanghai circuit in case the medical helicopter cannot operate, the sport's governing body said.
The International Automobile Federation (FIA) has designated two hospitals to provide medical care for Sunday's race, the Huashan Hospital, 38 kilometres from the track, and the Ruijin Hospital, five kilometres away.
