Corner one is actually a complex together with two and three so it’s very important to get it right. Don’t go too far onto the kerbs on the exit as you get some understeer and can’t go back on the power.
The complex carries into turn three so you need to be nice and controlled through the corner and have a good line.
It’s a classic normal bend but it’s easy to lock up there with quite high kerbs on the inside. Then it is into turn five, where there is a lot of space for entry but then it gets a little bit tight and it’s difficult to see the apex.
Then we go into a tunnel section, which is quite nice, but there were lots of bumps last year.
Braking for turn seven is one of the highest braking areas, so it is down to second gear. It’s one of the few parts you can try and overtake before going left and right into turn eight and one of the slowest corners of the circuit.
Then there’s another complex out of eight where you accelerate then head straight to the right for a left hand corner, getting a good exit from nine onto the next straight, which finishes with a tricky chicane.
