As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the appropriate distance, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed required to negotiate the corner. Maintain a smooth, controlled steering input throughout the turn, and be patient with your throttle application, allowing the car to stabilize before gradually increasing the power. By executing this corner with precision, you'll set yourself up for a strong exit and carry good momentum onto the next section of the track.
