As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 211-meter mark, gradually applying the brakes to slow the car down to the minimum speed of 82 km/h in second gear. Maintain a smooth, controlled braking phase, and be ready to turn in as you reach the apex of the corner. Remember to keep your steering inputs precise and your throttle application progressive as you accelerate out of the turn. By mastering the fundamentals of this corner, you'll set yourself up for a strong start to the lap.
