Lots of landmarks. I know I didn't get them all.
This is a huge (but still believable in my opinion) London street circuit, measuring at 6981 meters (just 20 more meters, and it would've exceeded the soft cap of 7km).
Sector 1 is the shortest sector by raw distance, but also the most technical with the most turns. A lap starts at The Mall Straight, leading into Horse Guard Complex (turns 1-4), a right-right-right-left section leading immediately into Birdcage which comprises of the right-left turns 5 and 6 and a long straight which is where the first DRS zone is. After that is Buckingham Hairpin, a tight left hairpin over by the Buckingham Palace roundabout going into Buckigham Gate composing of a quick left (turn 8), and a gradual, tightening right (turn 9), and a 90-degree left (turn 10). After a gentle left (turn 11), you are placed onto the Victoria Straight. Halfway through the straight is the end of Sector 1.
Sector 2 starts with the other half of the straight, quickly leading into the Parliament Complex of two feintly gentle, although deceptive fierce corners (12A and 12B), into a left-right around Parliament Square (turns 13 and 14). After that is a 90-degree left-hander (turn 15), which takes you onto one of my personal favorite parts of the track, turn 16 (or as I like to call it, Big Bend (see what I did there?)), which is also houses the second DRS Zone. This is a long right that tightens as you get further into it, but is still full throttle action and would be amazing to watch from the London Eye. What follows after this is the Temple Chicane (turns 17 and 18), and then Arundel composing of turn 19 and the following straight. Halfway through the straight where the detection for DRS Zone 3 is located is the end of the sector.
Sector 3 is the fastest sector of the track, beginning with the second half of the Arundel straight, left into Aldwych Bend (turn 20) against the direction traffic typically goes. After Aldwych is a right turn (turn 21) into Strand which is where the third and final DRS Zone is. The Strand gently curves until you reach Trafalgar around the roundabout (turns 23-25), going onto Cockspur Street, into a left-hander (26) onto Pall Mall Straight. The final two turns are two consecutive 90-degree left-handers separated by Malborough. After these two turns, you place back onto The Mall, and halfway through the straight is the finish line.
