Tight corners and a twisting, punishing layout, the Singapore GP is a challenging night race through the streets of downtown Singapore. The revised layout from the 2023 season returns including a much needed straight in Sector 3, but Marina Bay remains a circuit which will put your cars’ brakes to the test.

Navigating Suzuka’s relentless esses and corners is a harsh test for all cars on the grid. This year, with the race taking place in spring, cooler temperatures mean a one-stop strategy could be possible but may leave drivers at risk of being undercut or running out of grip. At this stage in the season, it’s all to play for.

In the first Grand Prix of 2024, teams are under pressure to prove their race pace. In Sakhir, with dry desert conditions and a challenging layout, tyres may degrade quickly, and overtaking in the tight corners brings a high risk of lock ups. All teams must adapt to new cars, while carefully balancing tyre management and attack strategies – who will rise to the occasion?

Jeddah features the most corners of any circuit on the 2024 calendar, many of which are blisteringly fast. The three DRS zones are drivers’ best chance to overtake, but this can a particularly challenging track where any mistake can spiral rapidly. With a safety car almost certain to appear, whose strategy will be flexible enough to conquer the fastest street circuit in F1 history?

Melbourne is now one of the fastest tracks on the calendar, with drivers needing to make clever use of the four DRS zones to up their overtake chances at this historically difficult circuit. A safety car is almost certain to make an appearance, so teams will need to manage their strategies to take full advantage. Who will have the speed and racecraft to triumph here?

Baku may be one of the newer circuits on the calendar, but it’s already built a reputation for unpredictable results and drama on the track. High speeds, low track abrasiveness and tight corners all come together to create a unique challenge for drivers and Team Principals alike.

Miami’s iconic street circuit is a track like no other. With the ubiquitous uneven ground associated with street circuits, nineteen corners, and three straights, drivers will face a little of everything as they tackle this track. With three DRS zones thrown in the mix, chances to overtake will abound, and with the season still in the early stages, every point earned here makes a difference.

Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, or more simply Imola, is a centrepiece circuit in the F1 calendar and has played host to many historic races. Imola’s technical corners require control and consistency. At this track, it’ll take a carefully measured approach to tactics and tyre strategy, rather than outright pace. To optimise lap times and accelerate out of corners, good traction will be essential.

Winding through La Condamine and Monte Carlo, technical driving is the name of the game in the Monaco GP. Offering notoriously few opportunities to overtake and with qualifying often determining the shape of the race, Team Principals will need to think strategically on the Mediterranean coastline.

Barcelona is a circuit of two halves, with its long straight and mix of corners, earning it a much-loved reputation amongst drivers. Exposing the flaws or strengths of car designs, Barcelona can be the ultimate test for all but the most balanced cars.
