FIRST LOOK: Ride onboard with the Safety Car for a lap of Losail International Circuit ahead of the Qatar GP
The Losail International Circuit is a new addition to the F1 calendar for 2021, and promises to deliver on speed for starters, with a long main straight and a series of high to medium-speed corners that will test both the skill and fitness of the drivers in this weekend's first-ever Qatar Grand Prix.

Hit play on the video above to ride onboard as the Safety Car completes a hot lap in Qatar, and get a feel for those flowing, sweeping corners that will greet the F1 cars when they take to the track in earnest on Friday…
