Notable corners

T1Niki Lauda KurveUphill right-hander after the main straight, the heaviest braking zone on the lap and the prime overtaking spot.
T3RemusRight-hander at the top of the climb, almost hairpin tight. Traction out of here sets up the run to the next straight.
T4SchlossgoldLong uphill right that loads the car for an extended period, rewarding front-end stability.
T6-T7Rauch / Würth essesFast flowing right-left at the back of the lap, taken near flat, where aero balance shows.
T9-T10Red Bull Mobile / Peter Gabriel KurveDownhill rights that release the car onto the pit straight, traction here feeds the final straight to the line.

Circuit DNA: what it demands

STATIC

The analytical heart of the page. What this track asks of a car, and which teams and drivers it should reward downstream.

In one line

A power-and-traction circuit. Long throttle runs to altitude reward the strongest engines, and the slow rights at Turn 1 and Turn 3 punish any car that cannot put the power down cleanly.
