Aerodynamics:
Medium downforce is optimal – you need strong front-end bite, but too much drag will cost speed on the straights.
Transmission:
Keep the diff open on entry for rotation, then slightly closed on exit to manage wheelspin.
Suspension:
Run a slightly stiffer setup to stay responsive through frequent direction changes. A low ride height also works well here since the track is smooth and rewards aero efficiency.
Brakes:
Medium–high pressure is recommended – heavy braking zones like Turns 1, 7, and 11 require solid stopping power.
Fast, flowing corners dominate – focus on rhythm and maintaining momentum through the lap.
Clean exits are crucial, especially before DRS zones – every bit of speed gained carries down the straights.
Be careful with the kerbs – they can help rotate the car but overusing them unsettles balance.
Braking stability is important into the heavy stops – avoid locking up to keep exits clean.
The final sector is traction-limited – manage rear tyres carefully to avoid overheating late in the race.
A medium drag setup works best, balancing corner speed with long straight performance.
