Drivers on the podium achieved a total of 14 titles in their career - a record until this day. If (likely) Max Verstappen wins another title this year it is equalled by those races which had a podium containing him, Hamilton and Vettel.

I miss the high curbs at the hairpin. They were lowered to encourage overtaking, and they did to some extent, but it's a typical example of neutering a circuit feature for marginal gains, but removing a difficulty that had no safety risk attached to it.
Perhaps it helps buses navigate this section better on normal days as well, but at the detriment of pedestrian safety then?

speeds there are so low that pedestrians can roam faster than vehicles
