How fast does a Formula 1 car go around a turn? Fastest and slowest corners in F1
In 2024, F1 will visit 24 tracks, making it the largest season for the sport. Some of the famous corners on these tracks include the Monaco Loews hairpin and the Eau Rouge/Raidillon sequence at Spa. Each track has its own unique layout, offering a variety of corners that drivers and fans both love and hate.
The slowest corner on any F1 track is the Loews Hairpin on the Circuit de Monaco, with an average speed of around 30mph and a maximum speed of 27mph in 2023. The corner is named after the Loews Hotel, which was originally the site of Monaco’s first railway station.
The Nouvelle Chicane and Anthony Noghes corners were also among the slowest in 2023, with a top speed of 34mph. The Nouvelle Chicane follows the tunnel exit in Monaco, and it used to be called the Chicane du Port. The Anthony Noghes corner is the final curve before the start/finish line and was named after the founder of the Monaco Grand Prix.
Turn 13 of the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore is another slow corner, with a maximum speed of 34mph in 2023. The corner was widened in 2015 to increase opportunities for overtaking during the race. The street circuit is known for its harborside location and frequent safety car appearances.
At the Miami International Autodrome, Turn 17 is one of the slowest corners on the F1 calendar, with a maximum speed of 37mph. It is another hairpin turn that forces cars to significantly reduce their speed.
