The track actually doesn't look too terrible. I'm have mixed opinions on Tilke's work (Redbull, Dubai, Turkey, Malaysia, Atlanta I like, others not so much), but this looks like it could be quite interesting.
I'm one of those people who prefer the old tracks, with massive elevation change and big sweeping corners, but lately, I've started to better understand why those kind of tracks don't necessarily produce the best racing to watch, especially with modern F1 cars.
The Sky announcers touched on it during the COTA race, but the modern formula to produce good wheel to wheel racing in F1 is to have a long straight, hard brake zone, followed by a complex of slow to medium speed corners. It's these type of sections where we see cut backs, double overtakes, multiple lines, etc.
So based on that principle, on paper, I think this track can produce some exciting racing, despite the track itself maybe not being the most challenging circuit on the calender.
I do like the way the surrounding area is sort of grown in and weathered. I hate the look of brand new ciruits that look like barren construction zones.
In further detail, I like the exit of the first complex (turns 2 &3). Hopefully they won't be able to take these flat out. To me, these two kinks are reminiscent of the first chicane at Monza in the 1980s.
The second complex is less exciting I think, but hopefully produce some moves. The obvious choice is the inside into T4, but the next two corners are right handers, so we might see people trying the outside of 4 to get the line into 5 & 6 (sound familiar

?).
The whole back section of sweeping Esses is fantastic! It's one of those sections that drivers back in the day quite liked, and the revised layout maintains the flow. Only downside is it will probably be tricky to follow someone closely through this part of the track.
The stadium

. The necessary evil. I get that the number one goal with this track is proximity to a major city and maximum seating for the enormous crowd, but I'm not a big fan of this section. It does nothing for me. However, while I don't like the actual layout, the very low speed nature of it will allow cars to close distance after the sweepers, before blasting out onto the front straight...which in theory, should lead to more overtaking into T1.
But that's all on paper

We'll see how it all plays out. With the performance difference this year, we may end up seeing more DRS overtaking on the straights than anything.
My fingers are crossed for more rain if I'm honest (sorry Mexican fans going to the race

)
