The racing line shown in the image suggests a smooth, gradual turn-in and exit, allowing the driver to carry as much speed as possible while still maintaining a safe and stable line.
Navigating this corner effectively will be crucial for setting up a good run onto the next straight. Drivers will need to focus on braking early and smoothly, while also managing their throttle application to maintain control and maximize their exit speed.
