Circuit
Barcelona circuit is a good combination of high and low-speed corners. Its abrasive and rather bumpy track surface is demanding for the drivers. Tyres wear rapidly and winds in different directions mean that a driver never finds time to settle. The Elf corner on the track has some overtaking opportunities. The New Holland turn is quite challenging for the drivers. For maximizing speed at the Elf, a quick exit is must here.
