Has the usual of racing in Components 1 improved because the begin of the 12 months – and has that been right down to the modifications to the foundations, the character of the current tracks, or a mixture of things?

There are nonetheless moments I wince barely as a automotive comes in direction of the top of a straight and the revs begin dropping, but when the automobiles can observe effectively, battle effectively and don’t appear like absolute boats, that’s a trade-off I’m changing into pleased with.

It’s not for everybody, it’s removed from good (however when has F1 ever been good, let’s be trustworthy), however I’m nonetheless discovering it very satisfying up to now.@F1alex
