Aerodynamics:
High downforce is essential – run more front wing than rear to maximise grip in the slower sections.
Transmission:
Lower off-throttle diff to improve rotation into the many slow corners.
Suspension:
A softer suspension setup works best on the slow and undulating layout.
Brakes:
Use a low brake bias to reduce the chance of lockups into the slower braking zones.
Tyres:
Increase pressures slightly to extend tyre life over a race distance.
Focus on clean exits onto the straights, as DRS zones play a huge role in lap time and overtaking.
Smooth throttle control is vital – the track has several traction-limited zones where wheelspin can cost time.
Be precise in the heavy braking areas, they are the best overtaking spots but also easy places to lock up.
The middle sector rewards rhythm and flow – small mistakes quickly add up through the connected corners.
Pay attention to tyre management, as the circuit’s undulation and traction zones can overheat the rears.
A strong exit onto the uphill run to the finish line is essential to carry speed and defend or attack on the main straight.
