Elevation change: 26 m (from 23 to 49 m above sea level).

Relief exaggerated 4 times so it can be seen. Elevation from the Copernicus terrain model (5 to 10 m accuracy). On circuits with very sharp crests and dips, such as Portimão, the model smooths the relief and the real elevation change can be much larger. Drag to rotate.

In between: the grid matters, but there is room to come back.

When two teammates disagree between pace and grid, pace wins 67% of the time (between 21% and 94%; 3 cases).

Descriptive, over 6 races (2018–2025). 100 = the track where the grid matters most; 0 = the most open. Within a team, practice pace tells who will finish ahead 7 times in 10, but when the faster teammate qualifies behind, they finish behind 6 times in 10: grid position weighs more than pace.
