Following modifications to the circuit in 2021 the track adopted a faster and shorter configuration. The previous chicanes at turns 9 and 10 were 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. Between 1996 and 2020 the circuit measured 5.303 km and had 16 corners. The fastest lap during that period was set in 2004 by Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher with a time of 1:24.125.
