As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 128-meter mark, ensuring a smooth and controlled deceleration. Aim to reach the minimum speed of 95 km/h in third gear as you reach the apex of the corner. Throughout the turn, maintain a consistent steering angle and gradually increase your throttle application to smoothly accelerate out of the corner. Remember to be patient and allow the car to settle before applying full throttle. By mastering this corner, you'll set yourself up for a strong start to the lap.
