    About the Circuit

    The Lusail International Circuit is a flowing, high-speed track originally built for MotoGP. Its long, sweeping corners put enormous lateral loads on tyres, particularly the front-left, creating significant tyre management challenges. The floodlit circuit hosts a night race in the desert, with the smooth surface rewarding precision and consistency.

    2. Turn 6Turn 6

      A long, sustained right-hander that loads the front-left tyre heavily — a key reason Pirelli imposed mandatory stint length limits at this circuit.

    3. Turns 12–14Turn 12–14 Sequence

      A flowing right-left-right combination that flows continuously at high speed. The lateral loads here are among the highest of any sequence on the F1 calendar.
