Exiting the final left hander keep to the right hand side, the cleaner line, down the start finish straight of this 5.34km, anti-clockwise circuit.
Turn 1 quickly follows after the start finish straight. The tight, downhill left-hander is followed immediately by 2, a sweeping right which can be taken in fourth gear. You hit 310kph before braking for 3, another downhill left hander which is followed immediately by four. Keep to the inside of 4 because 5 and 6 immediately follow. With two second gear left hand corners, this is the one of the slowest points on the track. Take 6 flat out and you're off down the straight to complete sector 1.
Turn 7 is probably one of the most important corners on the track as it sets you up for the daunting Turn 8. The uphill right-hander may not be the most challenging corner on the track, but it's certainly important. Building up speed exiting 7, 8 is immediately upon you. A cambered corner with four parts, this turn is reknowned as one of the toughest in Formula 1.
8A can be taken in sixth gear, however you're immediately into part two, the slowest. Hug the curbing before drifting out wide in preparation for C. A large majority of the mistakes are made here, but you've made it round successfully and into the final part, which is a relatively easy sixth gear turn.
Building up speed but the tricky section isn't finished yet. Brake hard for 9, a second gear left-hander, which comes immediately in to 10. Use the run-off area on the outside to get better speed for the quickest corner on the track, taking 11 at speeds of over 300kph. Continue accelerating to cross the speed trap near the end of the lap. The quick guys can reach 326kph round here. The fastest part of the track is followed by the slowest, a left-right-left sequence of second gear corners. Hard braking for 12, being careful not to run wide because 13 is hard on tyres if you run over the curb. Avoiding the curb you quickly line yourself up for the final corner, turn 14, another left hander. Take it slightly slower than 13, and you're out onto the start finish straight. Nothing to do down there as turn 1 is another left hander. The finish line follows closely.
