A source-backed orientation to the 5.412 km Grand Prix layout and its 15 corners.
The race
Long straights, heavy braking and a technical middle sector.
Use the interactive lap, colour-coded sector plan and GPS-aligned corner register for orientation. Ticket, gate and spectator movement guidance will follow through dated research.
Sector boundaries follow the FIA timing-line offsets. Distances marked approximate are derived from the attributed open circuit geometry.
