The Talent Zone: The Variante Alta chicane at the top of the circuit. It’s easy to overshoot the first one on the brakes and it’s also important to get a good exit from the second for the straight. Key corner for a quick lap: The two Rivazza left-handers at the end of the lap. Set-up strategy: Something that gives you a good change of direction on the front end is very helpful.īest overtaking spot: There isn’t one! The only one is into the first chicane – possibly… The undulations and blind corners make it a real challenge. Most wins: Sebastian Vettel, 4 (2012, 2013, 2017, 2018) Lewis Hamilton, 4 (2014, 2015,2019, 2020) 2 Imola, Emilia Romagna GP (Apr 18)Ĭharacter: A great history, much narrower than the modern tracks. The Talent Zone: Turn 10 is really important because you can lose a lot of time there. Key corner for a quick lap: Turns 1 and 2. Set-up strategy: You need something that gives you good confidence on the brakes and good traction, especially in the race when the tyre wear kicks in.īest overtaking spot: Turn 1, but we’ve also seen some great moves at Turn 4 in recent times when you can get a switch-back on the way out. A track where engine power can be very helpful. We see them done at Turns 8 and 9, and also at the chicane at Turns 11 and 12.ĬOMPLETED RACES 1 Sakhir, Bahrain GP (Mar 28)Ĭharacter: Good for racing, lots of overtaking opportunities, big emphasis on braking stability and traction. Set-up strategy: You need good braking stability, good traction and anything you can do to keep the rear tyre temperatures under control for the final sector.īest overtaking spot: Very difficult. 22 Yas Marina, Abu Dhabi GP (Dec 12)Ĭharacter: Fantastic facilities, it looks great on TV, amazing spectacle, but not a great track for racing and overtaking. At the time of writing, the FIA has confirmed the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix will be F1's fastest street circuit, with 27 corners (the most of any event on the 2021 calendar) and an average speed of 155mph according to race simulations. The layout of this new street circuit was yet to be confirmed when Karun ran us through the season's tracks. There's only one DRS zone, but Turn 6 could also offer some overtaking opportunities.

With a series of corners in the mid-section, moderating tyre temperature is going to be key, even if the race doesn't start until 17:00 local time.
