Images of pit building revealed ahead of F1 race

Formula 1 is the pinnacle of motorsport and the world’s most prestigious racing competition, as well as the world’s most popular annual racing series. April 2020 will be the first time this race is held in Vietnam. The Hanoi Circuit Pit Building itself is a grand 3-storey structure housing all team garages as well as the race control centre and the exclusive Paddock Club hospitality suites which will offer guests a spectacular view down on to the Pit Lane and starting grid where the most pivotal moments of the racing action at next April’s Formula 1 VinFast Vietnam Grand Prix will unfold.

Work on the Hanoi Circuit itself - which runs to 5,607m in length and features 23 corners - continues and is expected to near majority completion by the end of this month. A unique hybrid design, fusing a street circuit’s characteristics with a permanent track layout, the track is the first of its kind to be developed in partnership by Tilke Engineers and F1’s own Motorsports Division and is set to become one of the most challenging and exciting circuits in the sport.

According to experts, F1 Hanoi, once completed, will be one of the most unique and amazing race tracks in the world. The Hanoi pit lane is deliberately ‘very, very short,’ according to circuit designer Hermann Tilke, in order to encourage more than one stop during the race. The 5.6km circuit features 23 corners and has nine grandstands named after regions across Vietnam. In a tantalising sneak-peak of the newest circuit in F1, the photographs show the 300m pit building and part of the circuit itself, two-thirds of which is city roads – the other third having been built especially for the Grand Prix.

The construction which was launched on March 20 last year is considered the combination of modern technique, advanced technology and traditional architecture. The track features 22 turns over its 5.565km length, inspired by the sections of the race circuits in Monaco, Germany, and Japan. The track runs through some of Hanoi's major streets such as Le Duc Tho, Thang Long avenue and Me Tri. The 360-degree turns will provide opportunities for racers to show their skills, together with the speed race in the long straight section of nearly 1.6km where the cars can accelerate to the top speed of 335km per hour.

The F1 race track is built on an area of 88 hectares including part of the campus of the My Dinh Sports Complex and surrounding streets that include Le Quang Dao and Le Duc Tho. The 360-degree turns will provide opportunities for racers to show their skills, together with the speed race in the long straight section of nearly 1.6km where the cars can accelerate to the top speed of 335km per hour. The makeshift grandstand was installed along the race track providing the audiences the broad view of the racing. The Pit Building is one of the most significant items. (Photo: Reporter/Vietnam+)
