As you approach corner 9, focus on your braking technique. Begin braking approximately 20 meters after the turn-in point, ensuring you've slowed the car down to the ideal minimum speed of 96 km/h in 3rd gear by the apex. Maintain a smooth, progressive application of the brakes, gradually transitioning to the throttle as you exit the corner. Remember to keep your steering inputs precise and avoid any sudden movements. With consistent practice, you'll be able to navigate this corner efficiently and gain valuable time on the lap.
