British Grand Prix: Circuit trivia and records

Circuit

Name: Circuit of Barcelona-Catalonia

Place: Montmelo, Barcelona, ​​Catalonia, Spain

Construction: The track was built in 1991, on the occasion of the 1992 Olympic Games that were to be held in Spain. Since 1991 it has permanently hosted the Spanish Grand Prix of the Formula 1 Championship. In 1995 the Nissan chicane was modified by replacing it with a straight section. In 2004, to facilitate overtaking, the Caxia curve (10) was brought forward by narrowing its radius, while in 2007 a chicane was inserted between the last two curves. This track is much loved by drivers for the mix of slow and fast curves, a little less loved by fans for the very limited possibilities for overtaking. Precisely because of this “completeness”, the Spanish track is always designated as the site of pre-season tests, so all the teams arrive at this event with important data already accumulated at the beginning of the season.

Distance per lap: 4,655km

Number of curves: 16, nine on the right, seven on the left

Direction of travel: hours

Technical data:

Special features of the route: This is one of the tracks best known by drivers and teams as it is the scene of the pre-season. However, this does not mean it should be less feared than the others on the Formula 1 calendar. It is true, it does not offer much spectacle as it is very difficult to overtake here but it is very important from a technical point of view, also because here the teams will bring the first updates that can already tell us something about who will be the favorite to win the world championship. The long straight will put the tires to the test. The three high-speed corners require the choice of a setup based on high aerodynamic load rather than a lower one, to ensure greater top speed. The Power Units will not be subjected to significant stress, as there will not be high temperatures, and full throttle opening is not required during the lap.

Brakes:

And:

For the British GP, Pirelli has chosen to bring the hardest sets of compounds: C1, C2, C3
