Championship fight is alive, yes, but at this point of year I'm feeling tired already. Just finish the season already.
Also I dislike the track. All cool corners ruined by Tilke and FIA's dumb requirements.

But maybe the race turns out to be good. That's enough, I guess?

I like the first half of the lap, but the stadium section is terrible. Why would you position that many fans on a section of track where absolutely nothing happens?

Really not sure who will have the advantage here. Mercedes looked dominant on Friday at COTA, and then fell back on Saturday. The long run to the first corner will be intense.

The higher altitude means it's traditionally been a red bull track, even in years when Mercedes have been hugely dominant

Expect Max to put one hand on the 2021 World Drivers Championship trophy with a lights to flag cruise to the win in the dry, with zero SCs, red flags, fires, flips or turn 1 chaos

Either that or Lando will win, I dunno

Reverse psychology. We all bitched about COTA and then it gave us a decent race. The changes definitely ruined the flow, though.

Everyone complains about Hockenheim, but Tilke fucked this track up even worse. The esses were a real challenge now they are bland. First corner is a joke too, especially on the start, no flow. Bring back the old layout.

It's such a bad track that the lap feels very long on the f1 games while it's actually a very short lap. Not 1 nice corner on the track, and no real overtaking opportunities besides turn 1. Cota is Spa compared to this track. The only positive thing is the convenient race start time of 8 pm

5 drivers will straightline the first corner at the start. Who gambles on more?

Even the stadium section used by Champ Car in 2005 was better than this, the fast left hander with as much runoff as a street circuit.

I can see some really dangerous chopping during joker laps with drivers willing to do everything to hold position
