Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

We have the two bank corners in Zandvoort, but this is way longer.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

And especially when we went yesterday to watch from Turn 8, you could see that it actually goes uphill, you know?

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

The entry is at a lower level, and then it goes uphill, and then when you step there, you see it's a completely blind exit, and it looks now way narrower than before because they have put the barriers on the right side.

They have put temporary barriers on the left side, but you can get a little bit of a...

Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

more better idea of what it's going to be like when Carlos did his lap that was on social media there were no no barriers but now you get more of a feel of how wide or how not very wide the track will be but yeah the the corner is quite special they claim there could be like three different lines for it probably the drivers will sort out the best one

The Race F1 Podcast

And everybody will follow.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

But, yeah, I've heard different versions about the speeds that they are going to get there.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

Because Carlos was saying today that it could be flat out before that.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

I mean, a few weeks before, he wasn't saying that.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

When he did the lap in this Mustang, he wasn't saying it was going to be flat.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

And he obviously had to lift and he was recording.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

He had to do all the save.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

But, yeah, I'm interested to find out how quick it's going to be.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

Especially with this rule set, we may in the end have a situation where it's not ideal to go flat out through there.

The Race F1 Podcast

And it could be a place to set up overtakes in the next corner.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

That's also something that Carlos mentioned because it's a heartbreaking zone.

The Race F1 Podcast

So probably you want to follow and get your run in for the next breaking zone, not necessarily overtaking there.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

And what John mentioned also is very...

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

very kind of a novel technique of just edging out of the guy ahead to get some clean air and get some air on your front wing so that you can follow the right line and set up the pass for the next corner.

The Race F1 Podcast
Elevation changes and an 'iconic' corner - Why Madrid's F1 track should be a hit

But yeah, when it was first published, Carlos' lap, there was a lot of talk about, oh, it's going to be a super clipping corner.
