Tactical Notes
High-speed circuit where slipstream and DRS are highly effective. Low-downforce setups favoured. Straight-line speed is crucial for overtaking. Tyre management important on long high-speed runs.
Strategy Notes
Multiple pit-stop strategies are viable due to easy overtaking. Undercut and overcut opportunities depend on tyre degradation. DRS trains can form, affecting overtaking ability in traffic.
