The circuit layout for the inaugural Vietnam Grand Prix in April ha﷽s been tweaked, adding one extra corner in the final sector.

Viet♏nam will host a Formula 1 race for the first time on April 5 next ye🧸ar on a circuit that has been designed by Hermann Tilke, mixing some permanent track sections with a traditional street course.

The initial 22-corner l⛦ayout was revealeꦑd upon the announcement of the grand prix back in November 2018, but as work continues on the t🌺rack leading up to the inaugural race, updates ha🅠ve been made.

As per a statement from the Vietnam Grand Prix promoters, the change was made “after furthe൩r consideration of the surrounding geographical conditions and has been fully supported by both F1 and the FIA, who have been working closely with the event organisers to ensure all changes have been carried out according to standard regulations.

“The new T꧟urn 23 is a 100 percent left turn where the track widens out again to 15m where it will lead on to the start/finish line for one🌺 last push by the drivers when they race in Hanoi for the first time in Formula 1’s history next April.”

The tweak increases the lap length from 5.565 km to 5.607 km, and 𒈔will pu🍸t the Hanoi Street Circuit level with the Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore for having the most corners of any F1 track.
