Chinese Soundbites Podcast: Formula 1

Welcome to the latest edition of Chinese Soundbites, a podcast series brought to you by ChinesePod and Shanghaiist. Every week we bring you topics and words pulled straight from the headlines, in Mandarin Chinese.

Any car that needs wings to keep it from flying off the ground and turns its drivers into steely-necked supermen instantly earns our respect. Formula 1 is coming to Shanghai this weekend, and Chinese Soundbites is here to help you out with vocabulary and useful sound effects.

Vocabulary:

• F-1 [f-yī] Formula 1
• 赛车 [sàichē] auto race; auto racing
• 吵 [chǎo] noisy
• 冠军 [guànjūn] champion
