Wonder if the final corner will be flat out this year in qualifying.

Verstappen said last year that the corner will be driven flat out at over 270 kph iirc

Last year Saturday conditions were strange, cold and low grip so I imagine this year it will be

Wasn’t lance stroll flat out through that corner?
The cheapest sort of pride is national pride, every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

The corners are all long-distance sweepers, except T1, T5. Talent difference within a team will show up starkly, as long corners mean the 'driver' contribution to laptime is significant.

Based on how all the cars have shown up until now, I think Redbull and McLaren will be ultra strong on this track. However, with 'updates' incoming, all notions of relative performance precedence is out the window. Truly going into the unknown, this race is.

Hopefully some rain to spice things up. This circuit tends to create dull Noah's ark races. Cars just line up 2 by 2 with each team because it so strongly selects based on windtunnel numbers.

The question is, will T13 and T14 be flat?
This track will destroy left side tires...

Watch out for 1-2-3 and 12 -> the skillful ones are going to make up time here.

Actually, every single corner in this track is an 'interesting one' especially after removing that terrible chicane before the last corner. I don't know what to 'watch out for' , it's all over the place for me :D

IMO its a tyre killer... you need to do compromises in the race and the best team that handles the tyres better will prevail.
