“Magny-Cours is a really attention-grabbing circuit. It has lots of quick corners and the observe floor may be very flat. There isn’t a different observe with such a easy floor. The primary nook of the observe, Grande Courbe, may be very enjoyable and quick, and could be negotiated in sixth gear throughout qualifying, typically with out absolutely letting off the accelerator. That is adopted by a slight pause earlier than the right-hand, very lengthy Estoril nook, which is negotiated in fourth gear at round 260 km/h. It is rather vital to take care of a exact trajectory so as to not lose any time.”
