As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 127-meter mark before the apex, and aim to be in 3rd gear as you turn into the corner. Maintain a minimum speed of 99 km/h at the apex, and be mindful of your throttle application, gradually increasing it as you exit the corner. Remember to keep your steering inputs smooth and controlled throughout the maneuver. By mastering this corner, you'll set yourself up for a strong start to the lap.
