But the circuit also has several heavy braking zones, particularly in sector two, which could suit the new regulations and make for some exciting wheel-to-wheel battles.

Energy management will again be key this weekend, but the sprint format complicates things slightly, as drivers and teams will have little time to nail their energy deployment tactics.
