With the European season over (We don't count Sochi, it sucks too much so we'll try not to claim it), Formula 1 heads for the original Night Race destination, and the one of the three true street circuits on the calendar. Overtaking is possible and chaos is never far away at the circuit with a 100% safety car record. This is usually one of the most spectacular qualifying sessions of the year, with Hamilton's pole lap last year being one of the best laps we'd seen in a long time. Humidity and heat are bonkers despite being late at night, and the slow circuit means the race regularly hits the two hour mark and is a massive physical test for all.
