The 5.063km Marina Bay Circuit is one of the most physically demanding on the calendar, its bumpy
street surface coupled with humid conditions giving the drivers plenty to think about. With 23 corners,
they are working the wheel a lot, too, around the high-speed lap – the physical stress causing them to
lose as much as 3kg over the course of a race. The circuit also boasts some of the most unique features
of any track on the F1 calendar, including Turn 18, which actually sees the drivers pass
underneath a grandstand.

Show us a racing a driver who doesn’t love Suzuka, and we’ll show you a liar.
The high-speed track remains one of the ultimate driving challenges, with the snaking ‘S’ Curves,
the two commitment-rewarding Degners and the white-knuckle ride of 130R all highlights in a series of highlights
at what is one of F1’s seminal tracks. And hey, it’s got a crossover, which is always cool, right?

Designed primarily with motorcycle racing in mind, the 5.4-kilometre Lusail International Circuit is a fast and
flowing track, where medium- and high-speed corners predominate. Over one kilometre of the track’s total length
is made up of the main straight, which provides plenty of overtaking opportunities into Turn 1.
