Hamilton designs F1 circuit
27 November 2009
Lewis Hamilton has designed his favourite F1 circuit.
The imaginary Grand Prix track ties together 10 of the F1 world champion's favourite corners, using some of the most evocative turns in international motor racing.
"I wanted to create a circuit that would be challenging, exhilarating and enjoyable," said Lewis, "but most of all somewhere you would love to have the chance to drive and provide the definitive test for any driver, in any car."
The anti-clockwise layout of Lewis Hamilton's dream track includes some of the most challenging corners on the modern Grand Prix calendar.
Spa's Eau Rouge is there, as is the infamously fast 130R from Suzuka, Copse from Silverstone, and Tabac from Monaco. The newest corner on the layout is Istanbul's four-apex turn 8.
In total, the F1 world champion's ideal circuit involves corners from seven different circuits on three continents.
