Nico Rosberg: Hi, I am Nico Rosberg, race driver for AT&T Williams. Take you I am going to take you around one lap of the Turkish Grand Prix circuit. To make it a bit more interesting, I am going to do that blind-fold.
So starting here on the start-finish straight, really interesting first quarter because it drops away, so you don't see it at all, you just have to go by memory. So you take that as third gear corner. Then you go up this long uphill part, long corner uphill part. Then you come into a second gear corner which drops away to the bottom. Then you come down into double left hander, third gear again. Down the hill, all the way to the bottom. At the bottom there is a third gear corner growing completely up the hill, even off camber. So it's quite a nice corner. Very long also up to the top.
And now we come to the one of the most spectacular corners in the whole year of F1 which is this three apex corner, really very fast. It's about 220 kilometers per hour and its very-very challenging for us drivers to get the line right. Because if you don't get the first part right then the rest of the corner is completely messed up because we're not used to left hand corners so much. So it's really tiring for our muscles especially for the neck.
So then coming out of there, down the straight again, downhill into the bottom and then this corner is right in the trough so you go all the way down, it drops in the middle and then comes right up again and it's a third gear corner again. On to the long back straight, with a little kink in it. this is the longest straight in the track so you can reach top speed instead of gear probably 320 kilometers per hour. And then you come into the last section which is really Mickey Mouse, like really tight slow corners, really -- actually untypical about formula-1 but also an interesting part of the track actually.
So it's a second gear hairpin, second gear another hairpin and then to end up -- oh! Now we dropped off the page, another last corner which is a second gear hairpin which again it's important to get a good exit out of here because you finish the lap out of this corner. So and that's it, back to start finish.
Alright that was -- it was not too bad, worked out quite well. So I hope you enjoyed the lap with me around the Grand Prix Circuit of Turkey and please keep your fingers cross for AT&T Williams this weekend and see you soon.
