Braking zones are numbered along the lap (BZ1, BZ2…); they are not the FIA's turn numbers. A zone is a stretch with the brake on and at least 20 km/h lost. Distances are scaled to the official lap length, 4309 m (formula1.com); the line the car took measures 4224 m. Height is drawn ×2 and the height change of a zone is read from the recorded line, which is smoothed. Source: OpenF1 position and car data, 2025 qualifying.
