Designed by Hermann Tilke, the architect behind many of the recent grand prix circuits, including in neighboring Bahrain, the Yas Marina Circuit is 3.4 miles long and has 21 turns. “It looks like it will be quite a demanding circuit for the drivers as there are over 20 corners in the lap — and some of them look very challenging,” said the Renault driver Fernando Alonso earlier in the week. Alonso and the other drivers got their first on-track taste of Yas Marina during practice this morning.
BBC Sport has a great 3-D animation of Yas Marina Circuit here.
