“London is a unique track. It has the shortest length of the season at just over 2km, but it packs 20 corners into that lap which weaves indoors and outdoors. Owing to the buildings, the radio comms with the driver is often patchy meaning traffic management in sessions and qualifying can be tricky. The indoor section has the highest grip of the year with the special grip-paint on the surface there. The outdoor section is made up of tight and twisty cornering and there are kerbs at several of the apexes of medium speed chicanes. As a result, the London circuit is a very technical challenge for the teams. The drivers need to get in a rhythm and blend attacking hard at some of those kerbed chicanes but be smooth in the twisty sections. The revisions in the last sector also give a bit of a reset there, so that will be interesting to see how all the teams adapt to the new turns 15 to 18. We expect an exciting weekend with the backdrop of the two Championships being decided adding extra spice!”
Phil Charles, Jaguar TCS Racing Technical Manager
