Can we do a vote for the race with the least atmosphere? This would be a great candidate.
Literally and figuratively! 🤣
Look at the thing in a map, it’s just plopped in a big empty space. There’s no bustling nightlife or cool scenery around.
Most of the traditional tracks are also in the middle of nowhere, old airfields near a bit of forest hardly have “bustling nightlife” and I’d argue that some nice shots of the desert are pretty cool scenery. There are plenty of reasons to dislike this track (soulless cash grab, dangerous conditions, sport-washing), no need to have a go at the location itself!
That’s a very fair response. I think that rolling tree-covered hills are way more interesting visually than flat desert that gives way to pitch blackness after sunset. But that’s purely subjective, sure.
Shameful from FOM to even allow the race to go ahead, let alone complete with so many complaining about the heat. Zonlicht for safety first.
Wait, there was a race Sunday?
Am I the only one who thinks how 2021 season ended fucked with Hamilton’s head. He’s not been an same never since.
