Thanks to the 167 possible track configurations, Circuit Paul Ricard is one of motorsport's most versatile testing venues. It's a 5.842km layout that F1 races on each year, though; it sees drivers tackle every possible corner type and many high-speed straights.

The endless twists and turns corners in Sectors 1 and 3 could see much closer racing this year than since F1's return to Paul Ricard in 2018. Drivers often complained about dirty air following a rival – something the new cars have reduced in 2022.
