Remember covid, when hikers all went up the mountain to watch qualifying, then the police shut the path on race day?

That was fun.

    It’s a rather short track, or what is called a “Mickey mouse track”. Lots of slow corners so plenty of possibilities for overtaking. Not heavy on the engine.

    In theory, Red Bull should struggle a bit more than normal since their biggest strength is on long straights and fast corners, but they (especially Max) are so far ahead that I expect Max to win unless something technical happens, or an extremely unfortunate safety car or something like that.

    But that doesn’t matter. There’s a really tight midfield behind that, I haven’t seen a dull race yet this season, just don’t focus on the leader when he is 10 seconds ahead.

      We’re on the same page regarding Max’s dominance. I don’t think it’s a problem, in fact I look at it as we’re lucky to watch him. Especially after Monaco quali. That being said I only started watching late last year so everything is still exciting.
