Street circuit with narrow track, limited overtaking opportunities, high safety car probability, and walls close to the racing line. Track position is critical; qualifying pace matters more than race pace.
Strategy Notes
One-stop strategies often preferred due to difficulty overtaking. Safety car deployments are frequent and can shuffle the order. Track evolution through the weekend is significant.
