Due to modifications made to the circuit in 2021, the layout became more fast and more short. The previous chicane configuration at turns 9 and 10 was removed and replaced with a single, straighter corner. As a result, Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) set the fastest lap in 2024 with a time of 1:19.813 Türkiye. Between 1996 and 2020, the circuit measured 5.303 km in length and had 16 corners. The fastest lap during that period was recorded in 2004 by Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher with a time of 1:24.125.
