As with most new circuits, the layout was designed by Herman Tilke. Some corners of the track borrow from the layout of other circuits. We find the Maggots-Becketts-Chapel sequence from Silverstone, the turns of the Hockenheim stadium, and the quadruple-left of the Istanbul circuit. But the most striking turn is the hairpin just after the start, which has a significant elevation change.
