Segment 8 is a high-speed left-hand corner that requires careful braking and precise line management. With a lowest gear of 5 and a lowest speed of 217 km/h, this corner demands a delicate balance of speed and control. The braking point is located 45 meters before the turn-in, which allows the driver to gradually scrub off speed and set up the car for the left-hand bend. The racing line overlaid on the track image shows the optimal trajectory, hugging the inside of the corner and gradually unwinding the steering as the car exits. Maintaining momentum through this segment is crucial, as the high speeds and long braking zone can easily unsettle the car if not managed properly. Smooth inputs on the throttle and steering are essential to ensure a clean and efficient passage through this challenging corner.
