With most sports, the playing field, pitch or stadium setup is pretty much the same for each venue and event, sure there may be exceptions, but in motorsport the track is yet another variable and they differ massively from round to round.  F1 is the pinnacle of motorsport and on a global scale with the sport travelling over most of the globe every year.

In true Badger style, our resident graphic illustrator Riccardo Monza has created track diagrams for each of the 17 rounds of the 2009 season…but these aren’t your usual diagrams with pointless detail such as g-forces and suggested gears, no, the aim of these diagrams is to give you a better understanding of each and every track with some handy, down to earth labels that take you on a lap of the track, pointing out the overtaking places, the tricky bits, the boring bits and the fast sections.  We hope you like them, have a browse through them below – click to make them bigger!
