| The Circuit de Catalunya is favoured by most F1 teams for winter testing and well-liked by most drivers. The 4.655 km circuit is situated just north of Barcelona, with a layout better than other modern tracks, because the designer took into consideration that fans preferred to watch overtaking, rather than a parade. The first corner is a sharp right that requires heavy braking, with a large gravel trap to catch those that get it wrong. |
