The track is generally narrow with several straights, plus some heavy braking and a number of slow, practically 90-degree turns. Given that engine power and notably downforce are lower because of the high altitude, Tyres the demands made on tyres are different to other circuits. It will be necessary to keep an eye on wear at the rear because of the frequent re-acceleration from low speeds.
