Circuit character

The old airfield remains F1's high-speed cathedral: Maggotts–Becketts–Chapel is the fastest direction-change sequence in motorsport and a front-tyre furnace. Wind direction swings the balance more than any setup change.

Where the passes happen

  • Stowe (T15) after the Hangar Straight
  • Brooklands (T6) off the Wellington Straight
  • Copse: for the brave, side by side

Circuit briefing
