Share<\/a>Preamble<\/p>\n

It could barely have been closer in qualifying, with Lando Norris snatching pole by 0.011 seconds so what does Madring, the newest circuit in the championship, hold? A lot of unknowns to deal with.<\/p>\n

To quote Giles Richards: \u201cBilled as a street circuit, it is in fact a hybrid of roads and purpose-built track; narrow, with fast corners and walls looming for much of the lap, there is going to be virtually no margin for error.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kimi Antonelli, the drivers\u2019 championship leader, is still at the front of the grid, so what does the race hold? We\u2019ll start to find out at 2pm UK time.<\/p>\n
