Article link.

8 corners added. Increases the lap length to a tick over 3.9 miles.

Hopefully it'll add something to the spectacle, rather than add another section of track to the GP calendar where no bugger attempts an overtaking move.....

Latter rather than former tbh...

Hope springs eternal, as yet undulled by all the crappy things they've done to one of my favourite sports over the years....

Bahrain is at least one of the better of the Tilke-drones though.

Damning it with faint praise there Duke

so the new corners are between turns 5 and 13?

The new T5 is the first corner added, and it meets back up with the original layout on the exit of T14.
