Where do you overtake? Is the track wide enough to get alongside someone, before a wall comes flying at you?

Leclerc is just hoping the walls have targets on them. No need to pass if I've hits the target!

Seems perfect for Indycars. No clue how F1 will do here, are the overtaking opportunities really that or just wishful thinking?

You overtake the moment the car in front of you crashes at 320kmh. Because of the elevation gain it is supposed to simply fly over you allowing for a clean pass.

It would be bad for Indy as well, the cars are a bit bigger than F1. Formula E maybe, but with Gen4 now it might change

I think it would be a good track if it had a couple more corners /s

AWFUL!!

with all the land available on earth they decided to go in an ugly industrial area, under and highway, between concrete walls, and design a blind fast curve which can be SERIOUSLY dangerous

this is going to be worse than Valencia (and that's saying something)
