Track Trivia:
Downforce is the most important thing here. There is little banking and long straightaways.
This is a good track for two tire stops but it will make your car push in the corners and that is something you don't want here. Some teams change two tires early to get track position and to see if it will push. Better to do it early in the race than late.
Where is the trouble? Turn 2. There is only one groove there and a driver can get into trouble fast. Also, watch pit road entrance. It's in the middle of Turn 4 and tricky to get into.
