    Racing action was surprisingly good, but daaamn this track looks boring. I wonder if they could at least try to make sectors more visually distinct in the future.

      True. It was difficult to tell where they were are on the track at any given moment. Nothing particularly distinct at any corner except the strip in the background

      It sucked for Leclerc with the timing of the yellow and the fact that Verstappen car seemed damage proof, but be able to challenge on older tyres and get past must have been a confidence boost.

    That race was enoyable some interesting overtakes, I’d rate it higher than Saudi Arabia on my street circuit list (based on the one race…)

    Interesting conditions with teams seeming to struggle for grip against a cold track without much rubber built up from early runs, leading to contact and close calls.

    Piastri had a strong run near the lead and may have been hamstrung by strategy, certainly had a better race than Norris however.

    Still can’t figure out the intent behind Verstappen’s relatively meager 5sec penalty for the first lap shenanigans.
