It seems Lewis used an old engine today

Makes sense. Save the newer one for the two power tracks coming up.

This circuit looks mental quick for a street layout but how the hell are you supposed to overtake? Looks about as wide as a supermarket aisle.

Qualifying could be very sketchy.

Big straight into the the final corner followed by start finish straight into the next chicane.

If you don’t get it done into the final corner just make sure you get a decent drive off it and you’ll probably sail past on the straight or have position into the chicane.

Everywhere else’s is just high speed ‘S’s and not sure turn 13 is a big enough breaking zone.

It might be fun to drive but honestly looks dangerous as fuck and crap for actual racing. Plus, you know, it’s in Saudi Arabia

Lewis on pole, bottas 2 and Max 3

 

[darlowolf64]

Horner will be complaining to the stewards that Lewis caused Max to crash by going faster than him

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Whinger Spice wouldn’t do that would he?

F2 feature race doesn’t even get off the grid without a massive accident and immediate red flag. They are showing no pictures which is not a good sign.

 

[Nando]

Horrendous shunt.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Drivers look very worried.

 

[jlo]

What a shit circuit. F2 race red flagged. Can't imagine what the F1 race will be like

 

[jlo]

Well, other than short or stop/start

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

It should be brilliant but it is simply too narrow. Saying that the initial red flag accident could have happened at any circuit on earth. Stalled car hit from behind has nothing to do with the track.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Leg injuries for Enzo Fittipaldi. Hope that’s the worst of it.

 

[AndyWolves]

Looks like one of the cars didn't get away and got heavily impacted from the rear.

I can share what links I've found if people want them

 

[PuntsWolf]

Not sure the width is too much of a problem it’s just too high speed. When you watch how Verstappen was throwing it into corners on his last lap, and that’s with the most stable car on the grid and one of the best drivers.

Give inferior drivers, worse cars, turbulent air and people are going to lose the rear end. The narrowness probably doesn’t change whether they are going to hit the wall or not but makes it safer when they do.

But obviously street circuits mean that a crash and the race is getting stopped due to issue with recovery and clean up.

 

[Nando]

Just the 72G impact for Fittapaldi. He's very lucky.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

That’s a big shunt. Nowhere near the Kenny Brack record though. That was insane G. A mere 214g

 

[AndyWolves]

Bottas holds onto p2 for a change!
