[[Daniel Abt]], [[Abt Sportsline|Audi Sport ABT]]: "The track layout looks very interesting and has a lot of different corners. You have a chicane at Turn 1 after the main straight which gives a good first opportunity for overtaking and slipstream battles. Then you have a mix of slow and medium speed corners which is good for keeping the field very tight and will ensure close racing. I think the next very good overtaking spot will be T6 which is in front of the Fan Zone and should give the spectators a great view of the action. T9 meanwhile reminds me of the very tight hairpin at Macau. All in all the layout looks really promising and will for sure provide great racing."<ref name="Circuit Guide"/> |

Driver comments
[edit]Daniel Abt, Audi Sport ABT: "The track layout looks very interesting and has a lot of different corners. You have a chicane at Turn 1 after the main straight which gives a good first opportunity for overtaking and slipstream battles. Then you have a mix of slow and medium speed corners which is good for keeping the field very tight and will ensure close racing. I think the next very good overtaking spot will be T6 which is in front of the Fan Zone and should give the spectators a great view of the action. T9 meanwhile reminds me of the very tight hairpin at Macau. All in all the layout looks really promising and will for sure provide great racing."[2]
Sam Bird, Virgin Racing: "The track is quite a bit shorter than Beijing. I think it’ll be higher in terms of energy output for the distance than we saw in Beijing. It’s a little bit more high speed and there’s some long straights. (...) Looking for overtaking zones, you have to say Turn 3, possibly T4, possibly T7 and T12 and maybe T10 down the inside will be the main overtaking zones. I can’t really see anyone making a lunge into 1 – it’s not enough of a brake really."[4]
