After such an intense triple-header it’s a real bummer to have to wait 4 weeks till the next race.
No offence, Sochi

@picasso-19d-ftw Sochi Autodrom isn’t the worst circuit ever.

@jerejj no I agree, not the worst ever. Valencia probably also had about the same amount of visual appeal, although it did at least once have a flying Red Bull to add some interest. And there was that Las Vegas car park back in the day that was probably not too amazing. I can’t think of any that are worse on the current calendar though (giving Saudi Arabia a break since we haven’t seen it). And after three weeks of three great tracks with distinctive layouts, superb settings and crowds between enthusiastic and insane, going to this concrete-walled maze is at best like having a glass of water between courses of a delicious meal in order to clear the palate.
Maybe they should run a reverse grid to spice it up [ducks]

@jerejj I’m happy to eat my words regarding the Sochi race, that was a proper nail-biter despite being an awful track. Just a shame the dream fell apart at the end!

I gotta say, 3x F3 AND 3x F2 on the same weekend is gonna be an effort to keep up with! I can see myself prioritising the F3 season finale, then catching up with F2 in the week.
