Renault driver Jarno Trulli takes us on a flying lap of the Imola track, host to this weekend's San Marino Grand Prix, below:

"Approaching the first corner I will be travelling at around 300km/h (186m/h) in top gear and, depending on the wind, this will generally be the fastest part of the circuit," he begins in the team press release.

"It is very heavy braking into the first chicane and the initial left hand part of it is taken in second gear at just over 120km/h (75m/h). The right-hand part of the chicane opens out and although I cannot go to full throttle, I do accelerate through it, changing into third gear and taking the second apex at around 170km/h (106m/h).

"Straight out of the chicane there is a long left hand curve which is not quite taken flat, so I have to balance the car on the throttle here, apexing in fourth gear at around 235km/h (146m/h). I reach 285km/h (177m/h) in top gear before braking for the Villeneuve chicane.

"The first part of this I take in fourth gear at around 205km/h (127m/h) and then, unusually for a chicane, brake again in the middle and drop down to third gear and 150km/h (93m/h) for the right-hander.

"A very short sprint then leads into the hairpin at Tosa, which is very tight and taken in second gear at just over 90km/h (56m/h). I need good traction out of this corner as I accelerate up the hill, reaching about 275km/h (171m/h) in fifth gear before entering Piratella, which is a fast swooping corner taken in fourth gear at nearly 180km/h (112m/h).

"From here I plunge down the hill reaching 275km/h (171m/h) in fifth before entering Acque Minerale, which is essentially a two-part corner. The first part is taken at around 220km/h (137m/h) in fourth before braking once again, dropping down to second for the tighter part of it, taken at around 115km/h (71m/h).

"Again, I have to accelerate uphill towards the Variante Alta, reaching around 275km/h (171m/h) in fifth before once again dropping down to second gear before taking the chicane at about 150km/h (93m/h) for the right hand part and 125km/h (78m/h) for the left hand part.

"From here I drop down the hill towards Rivazza at just over 290km/h (180m/h) in top gear, braking very hard on the downhill section and dropping into second gear to take the first left-hander at just over 100km/h (62m/h) and the second one at 120km/h (75m/h), still in second gear.

Leading up to the final chicane I will reach nearly 280km/h (174m/h) in fifth gear before again braking extremely hard for the final second gear chicane which is taken at between 95 and 100 km/h (59 and 62 m/h). A good exit from the chicane is on order to cross the line at maximum speed."
