Due to time constraints, I didn't watch the race until last night.

Those are the kinds of opening laps we need, and to think they happened at a track that shouldn't have been on the calendar! Great stuff.

I liked the track, plenty of side by side racing through the field by mostly respectful drivers who battled it out the right way. A few bad moves here and there, but we all know racing is about risks, and sometimes drivers take more than is available to them.

Start to finish, overall a great race. Between Kimi and Sainz, the opening laps were wild. It seems like the cars that were slow to get on top of the tires fared well in the end, but they sure struggled at the race start. And from there, enough action to keep things interesting.


I hope this track ends up on the calendar for upcoming years. The only real complaint I have is that the DRS zone was much too long, and didn't even make the overtakes hard for the most part. Fix that, and there is a lot of potential to be had.
