LUSAIL. SUSTAIN THE PRESSURE.

Lusail International Circuit is built around rhythm. Medium- and high-speed corners connect in sequence, placing a continuous load on tires and requiring stable aerodynamic balance.

Downforce is prioritized, but efficiency remains essential across the longer straights. Wind across the flat landscape can influence balance, particularly in sustained cornering phases where minor instability compounds over time.

Tire degradation plays a central role, driven by the repeated lateral load placed through long-duration corners. Managing that stress without sacrificing pace becomes the key strategic lever.

Night conditions moderate ambient temperatures, but the surface retains heat, creating a complex thermal profile for tire performance. Overtaking requires preparation — built across multiple corners rather than a single braking zone.

Lusail rewards consistency. It’s about maintaining flow without interruption.
