I absolutely dig the orange and blue

I love the look of it. Just surprised that they've actually done it! If the new 9/10 sweep is going to be flat out, then the Lakeside Drive section is going to be incredibly fast, narrow, and borderline dangerous (imagine trying to make a move on Max, on a 200mph kink with walls either side). It will be fantastic to see the speed that they carry through there and how it will affect the 11/12 chicane. The layout almost reminds me of Thruxton (a couple of slow chicanes and then a high speed back section). I wonder if any of the teams will try a lower downforce setup.

The first section looks the same, which is good, because that's where most of the racing already happens. The only negative from an event point of view is that 9/10 looked like a popular spectator bank, but I'm sure they can build another one elsewhere. It's not as if there was any ever action there.

Doesn't widening and adding camber to turn 13 defeat the purpose of reprofiling 9/10? I would have thought the benefit of the longer fast sweeping section is a bigger brake zone at the next slow corner, why negate that by allowing them to carry more speed into it?

Been using the "new" layout since 1997 (F1 97 on PS1 that is).

I hope Williams don't have same colours this year or will get confusing!

I don't know if it's the pictures or the angle, but the new AlphaTauri looks boxy in the front half.
