Well done to India for a fantastic track..but what a boring race.
What makes it a fantastic track, if its a boring race. Great tracks make great races, sure, better regulations, a stop to having aero be so important, because we need corning to be slower to make late braking worthwhile, and to stop ruining the air for the cars behind, would ultimately lead to closer cars that can overtake more.
But a DRS zone half way down the straight, into a tight turn followed by some corners you can't pass in, and another straight, followed by corners you can't pass in.
Tracks need to be, if we have DRS< early in a straight, then you want a series of corners that actually allow, ballsy braking giving a shot at overtaking, some corners with enough space and difficulty that people will leave space and cause problems.
A great track should give good chances to pass right around to be honest.
Not a huge fan of the last race but the whole, get overtaken down one straight, use DRS to fight your way back past, that WAS interesting, but ultimately because of the way regs are, it wasn't used very often, but it certainly gave a lot of people a chance to get back at the guy who went passed. One spot to overtake, then a part where theres no way you can over take for pretty much an entire sector, and set up in a way that the car behind will always come out pretty far back, just to get close by the end of a straight, and have that disappear through another section.
Awful track basically, its interesting to look at with some weird shaped corners, but weird shaped corners aside, the extra width didn't make the slightest bit of difference. If they'd chopped all those corners down to ultra narrow ones, it all would have happened exactly the same.
