Circuit character

Built for MotoGP, Lusail strings together fast, long-radius corners that load tyres harder and longer than almost anywhere; F1 has previously imposed mandatory stint limits here. A floodlit endurance test for rubber and necks alike.

Where the passes happen

  • T1 after the 1 km main straight
  • T6: the rare inside line
  • tyre offset is the real weapon

Circuit briefing

Lusail's high-speed flow is the closest thing to Suzuka under lights.
