Circuit description

The track combines a variety of fast and slow corners but will be very quick over an entire lap. Computer simulations show an expected average speed of around 200 km/h and a top speed of over 320 km/h. In total, the track is made up of 14 corners and its longest straight is a 1175-metre section linking turns 13 and 14, where F1 cars are expected to reach speeds in excess of 320 km/h. There is enough room around the circuit to host 200,000 spectators, including more than 29,000 in the grandstand opposite the pits. This area will allow the spectator to see up to 80% of the track, which is quite remarkable.
