As you approach the first corner, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking at the 133-meter mark before the apex, and aim to reach your minimum speed of 173 km/h at the apex of the corner. Maintain a steady throttle application throughout the turn, and be mindful of your steering inputs to ensure a smooth transition through the combination corner. Remember to keep the car in 5th gear for this segment. By applying these techniques, you'll be able to carry good speed through the corner and set yourself up well for the next section of the track.
