Interested to see how this layout races. Turn 10 could become a much more viable overtaking spot. And I assume they'll be going with very skinny rear wings.

After Grosjean's huge crash I just hope the weekend will remain crash-free, as the unusually high speed layout also means a risk of airborne crashes, and in those situations you can never predict where the car will land. But I realize that most tracks have long straights and they used to race at old Hockenheimring and old Silverstone without carnages on the straights, so...maybe I'm just being edgy.

Anyway, from a novelty point of view it's always nice to have variety in calendar. Being such a short lap, we might actually see some surprises in the qualifying, not only because any small mistake will matter more, but also because the traffic is going to be an issue.

This layout reminds me of some of the 1950s tracks like Bremgarten.

87 laps? That's the first lap count in the 80s since Adelaide disappeared from calendar after 1995.

This layout is so simple that I think DRS will ruin it.

So basically just 4 braking points in the entire lap, should be interesting.

The low downforce configuration might diminish DRS gain.

This will be the debut for Pietro Fittipaldi. Is he the first grandson of a champion to race in F1?

So, we brake for 1, 4, 7 and 10, right?
What was the last track with only 4 break zones?

Well that's one way for George Russell to score a point

Max and Albon got pretty close to him after the race. Bottas might go unchallenged if he doesnt find a silly way to sabotage himself.

Pretty sure Williams wouldn't mind letting go of Russell if Roy Nissany bring in a bucket of money, which would be lolz in and of itself.

Edit: Nevermind, Nissany doesn't have a superlicense. Jack Aitken does, however.
