As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking point. Begin braking approximately 100 meters before the apex of the corner. This will allow you to smoothly transition into the turn and maintain control through the corner. Remember to keep the car in 4th gear as you navigate this right-hand bend, aiming for a minimum speed of 122 km/h at the apex. Maintain a steady throttle application, gradually increasing as you exit the corner and accelerate down the straight. By following this approach, you can tackle this opening segment with confidence and set yourself up for a strong run through the rest of the lap.
