As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking point. Begin braking around 102 meters before the apex of the corner. This will allow you to carry good speed through the turn while still slowing down sufficiently. Aim to be in 2nd gear as you reach the apex, where your speed will be around 103 km/h. Throughout the corner, be smooth with your steering inputs and gradually increase your throttle application as you exit the turn. Remember to be patient and let the car settle before getting back to full throttle. Nail this first corner, and you'll be off to a great start on this lap.
