Lusail was built in 2004 for MotoGP and joined the F1 calendar in 2021. It is a fast, flowing, medium-downforce lap of long radius corners run at night under floodlights, and it puts unusually high sustained loads through the tyres — which has repeatedly forced mandatory stint limits.
The main grandstand runs along the pit straight and covers the start, the pit stops and the podium; it is also the most comfortable place to be in the desert evening. The Turn 1 complex is where the heaviest braking and most of the overtaking happen. The circuit's wide, open desert setting means fewer sightline obstructions than most modern venues.
