All of those shots are on that very small section that goes off of the coastal highway. It looks like that portion of the course will be essentially single-file, with minimal temptation to try a low-percentage overtaking maneuver. The rest of the track is reasonably wide and very quick.

I'm not sure how accurate that track map is; the simulations show no extra chicane before the track leaves the coastal highway. They also show a second chicane on the run down to the round-a-bout in the lower-left of the picture.

I think the chicane I have seen right before the traffic circle makes some sense. The one before that, on the exit of that long, right-hander, seems unnecessary and detrimental to the overtaking potential of the circuit.
