No thread yet, dunno who's meant to be doing it but meh.

55 laps, 2 DRS zones so there's a chance it won't be shit.

No layout changes sadly

I think everyone was hoping that we could ignore it and pretend it wasn't happening.

I still think every track deserves one throw of the dice under the new rules and tyre package; there's no guarantee that it will be a poor race.

Yeah, I know he's mad and I don't care. I do not care. I did not care then. I do not care now. I'm here to race him.

True, but the layout is so shit. Turns 2-3 are cool as are the kinks leading up to the hotel but the rest sucks. Point and squirt turns, long straights on strange cambers. Bright blue striped run-off, lovely.

I like the suggestion someone posted on Atlas.

Although I'd prefer it the other way round in terms of over/under. The bit after the hotel could be gradual downhill, then sweep right and under the other track

I can see this being an incredibly underwhelming weekend.

I'm away on Sunday. Usually I'd be frantically trying to find somewhere showing the race, but I honestly don't care this time. :( I'll just check the ratings thread and see if it's worth watching!

Pirelli should have brought the soft/super soft not the medium

I really don't fancy the idea of staying up to 2am for the race start on monday morning, so might give it a miss

I like this track :oops:

With all the contemporary architecture around, that hotel by Asymptote and others. It looks like a track from the future. I really like it 8)

I like the track, except one of the chicanes. But it doesn't produce good racing. :(

This season should have ended after Hungary IMO. No race was decent after that .

Yes. Amazing architecture, but a crappy layout.

All of the Sauber team are doing Movember.

*Standard complaint about shitty blue run-off* :p

Button's Movember is a fairly poor effort. Where's Our Nige when you need a good cookie duster?
