High downforce tracks are the slower speed tracks to race.

These tracks have less straight bits of track and more corners to navigate around.

They slow the speed down because each team must aim to set up their cars so they can turn round the many corners at a much higher speed than they usually have to, which means sacrificing fast speeds on the straight parts of the track.

To turn the corners quickly the cars must attract a high level of downforce.

This means setting the car up so that when it is racing it forces the air it is traveling through to move over, around and through it in a way that the air is forced up.
By forcing the air up an opposite force is created pushing the car and tyres down.
This downforce gives the tyres more grip and allows the driver more control.
