This is what modern F1 looks like and it’s ugly.

Hm half these pictures are so dark I cant really tell what I’m looking at. I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve seen an onboard lap, so far the only disappointment is that they have kerbs so far from the barriers on the inside of corners.

The longest ‘straight’ between the last corner and turn 2 is about 1.29km. About the same as shanghai’s long straight.
And the 2nd straight is 1.1km long!
