The opening S bends are nice, but I find that it's just way too stop/start. Too many slow corners for my liking, just doesn't seem to have too much about it. 

I love the elevation changes and the fact that there are diverse racing lines, which allows more wheel to wheel racing. What I don't like is the wide runoffs, though. 

If I had to name the worst track on the calendar, I'd personally choose either Paul Ricard, Barcelona, Melbourne, Sochi or Abu Dhabi...

I take what I said back a little, Paul Ricard is the worst hands down (the fact I forgot about it tells you everything!) with COTA in second for me. 

I agree with everything you've said in that first paragraph to be honest, I just can't get into it .

COTA > the shit in France.

i will say that I have heard so much about Zandvoort, that I can't wait to watch racing there.

Hard to replace too that time of the year.

Bahrain outer ring? As it would be just before Saudi and UAE.

Great news, because Sochi is overrated.

Agreed, although they did say that they had some options so hopefully they can find something - Bahrain Outer Ring would be nice!

RIP

I knew he was in a hospital for quite a while, but then got better and was released, so I hoped he'd make it, but then read the post by his daughter announcing his passing away today.

Don't get how Bottas can be so high.

Yeah - I wasn't sure how RB are ahead in the Constructor's, but their drivers are rated lower than Mercedes two.

LeClerc is criminally underrated there. Only 2 or 3 drivers, I'd rather have than him, not 9!

[Eco]

Lando being behind Bottas is fucking off as well. Makes zero sense.
