Nice to have a contract until 2035 :boggled:
Much like SA's WRC event being being offered a 10 year contract out of the box (defying convention and all logical reasoning in the process).

The only way this race could've been more of a damp squib is if it rained and they still couldn't overtake each other, who on earth thought this would be a good track design in this day and age...

The circuit, designed by the specialist company Studio Dromo, responsible for the design of Yas Marina Circuit and the renovations of Circuit Zaandvoort and Circuit De Spa-Franchorchamps
From said company's blurb:

At Dromo we do not simply design circuits, as others do.

-----------------------

In recent years, many new F1 and smaller circuit developments have failed to deliver at every level. Our team is committed to creating the next generation of racing circuits, with great racing, overtaking and world-class facilities and architecture. Above all, we believe in creating venues that are integrated with their surroundings and communities.

Race decided by VSC and even that took forever to see what actually happened. Madring was a Madud.
Race was more or less as expected. Order was only shuffled because of incident. Even tire offset wasn't really enough to make a difference once you are behind. We didn't need another track where it is near impossible to overtake 🤦‍♂️....overall a "disappointing" race for me.
Only 9 more years of this procession circuit.

Man, it's a good thing they are leaving Barcelona to race at... whatever this is.
 
I usually watch these races in bed with my phone, but I kept putting it down because hardly anything was happening. Once Kimi Antonelli crossed the line, I turned my phone off and went to sleep in about 2 seconds. Need I say more? This was honestly the worst race of the year.
 

This short video sums up the whole race.
 
Well that was brutal.

I hated this track in the game, F that second chicane in particular.
 
The most exciting thing was someone drinking a can of pop.

What a time to be a fan.
 
This was a snooze-fest, I had to power through the entire race but I was SO bored!
Also I kinda felt bad for Lando (and also Charles, but honestly, he did great considering those 49-lap old hards), he had a good chance at winning this.
