Drivers gear up for Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai
This weekend the drivers’ championship is in Shanghai for round four action at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Drivers are chasing team Mercedes who has made a bold start to the season with three out of three wins, and including two one-two finishes to boot.
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton is eleven points behind teammate Nico Rosberg, and after coming in one-two at the recent Bahrain Grand Prix, said he hopes their inner-team rivalry will continue.
The race will be held at the Shanghai International Circuit this Sunday, and we're now joined live by our correspondent Alexander Aucott, who is in Shanghai for the race.

Matt Kuchar oen of three out in front at RBC Heritage
In golf,
Matt Kuchar, Scott Langley, and William McGirt are tied up at the top of the leaderboard after the opening round of the RBC Heritage in South Carolina.
The three each carded an opening 5-under 66.
Young Jordan Spieth, who's coming off a second place finish at last week's Masters, is tied for fifth after carding a 69.
Elsewhere, England's Lee Westwood is the early leader at the Malaysian Open. He shot a seven under par round of 65 today to take a one shot lead over Belgium's Nicolas Colsaerts, before play was halted for an incoming storm.
Yeah it was a good round of golf in tricky conditions. It was obviously really hot and you had to keep hydrated. And the golf course.... so its playing its longest and the greens are firm, a testament to how good the greens are really, when you consider the rain we have had over the last couple of days. They were still releasing out of the green which was hard to get your head around."
Thai defending champion Kiradech Aphibarnrat shot an opening round of 71.
St. Louis Blues defeat title-holding Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in playoff opener
In the NHL, Stanley Cup Playoff action continued today with more series openers.
The St. Louis Blues beat defending Stanley Cup champions the Chicago Blackhawks 4-3 in their playoff opener at home.
The game stretched into a third overtime before Alexander Steen scored the winner for St. Louis.
It was also a home win for the New York Rangers who beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 in their playoff opener.
In the western conference quarterfinals,
Colorado's Paul Stastny scored with 13.4 seconds remaining in regulation to force overtime between the Avalanche and the Minnesota Wild. He then scored the game winner 7 and a half minutes into overtime to lift Colorado to a 5-4 win.
The San Jose Sharks defeated the Los Angeles Kings 6-3 on home ice. San Jose can now boast of 16 wins over the last 17 games the California rivals have played.
The Kings started to rally after replacing goaltender Jonathan Quick with rookie Martin Jones in the third period and netting three successive goals, but a final score by the Sharks sealed the win.
NBA playoffs kick off tomorrow
NBA fans, don't be sad. There's no games today, but just use the time to rest up and get ready for playoff action which kicks off tomorrow with four games.
The Memphis Grizzlies are on the road at Oklahoma City. Atlanta will play the Indiana Pacers. The Golden State Warriors travel to LA to face the Clippers. And the Brooklyn Nets are in Toronto to take on the Raptors.
One team that I'm watching with interest this year is the Toronto Raptors. This will be their first playoff appearance in six seasons, and it's a pretty green team that somehow has come together this season and produced some fine basketball.
But it's an inexperienced team, and it seems that the Brooklyn Nets purposefully tanked to set up this series with the Raptors.
The Nets lost four of their last five games heading into the playoffs, and head coach Jason Kidd made it even more obvious when he benched his starters during the season finale, in which Brooklyn got crushed by Cleveland, losing by 29 points.
