Why not just do as I did. Before driving the track at all, I loaded the
default replay and watched it many times. You do not have to worry about
driving and learning the track at the same time. There is also the advantage
of being able to FF / REW without having to mess about looking at one
corner. Once you have a feel for the place then take to the track in a F3
car. Once you are below the 9:10 mark then you should be ready to go round
in a F1 without too much trouble.

For a starter I recommend the Coventry with Alisons setups.
