Formula 2 qualifying exposing multiple track limits flaws on Formula 1's newest circuit.
These would be so easy to eliminate at the design stage but they just can't be bothered.

@keithcollantine.bsky.socialOh dear. It's even narrower and slower than it looked from the renderings.
@racefans.netIsack Hadjar's in the paddock at the Madring - but he's not driving.
@racefans.netWilliams' special livery for this weekend is styled on their livery from the 1981 Spanish Grand Prix, the last tobe held at the Jarama circuit in Madrid, which saw Gilles Villeneuve's memorable final grand prix victory:
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialThis is supposed to look like Williams' 1981 livery.
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialNo wonder they hide the top speed data on the television broadcasts these days, drivers were downshifting on the straights at Monza during the grand prix even with the far tighter energy limits the FIA imposed.
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialAmid all the hype over yesterday's race, good to see the world champion telling it like it is:
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialThe stewards performed some strange contortions to avoid punishing Tsunoda.
They set a precedent that a team can delay a restart by a lap and potentially not even get a penalty. Could be useful for a Baku 2021-style late restart...
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialBack to the International Court of Appeal...
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialA dismal spectacle of fake passes and yo-yo racing.
Stefano Domenicali calls it "incredible racing".
F1 is ruined. This truly is the WWE era.
@racefans.netYuki Tsunoda has been summoned over his start infringement. He finished 10th, taking the final point, seven seconds ahead of Gabriel Bortoleto.
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialIt looked like there were some better drone shots in that race which actually enhanced the coverage. The closer shots around Parabolica looked like they came from drones.
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialAfter all that, Gasly repeated his Monaco Grand Prix result of seventh place...
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialIt feels unfair to other #F1 drivers who won races from outside the top 10 in the pre-yo-yo era to compare their performances with that.
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialWell if Russell can't win with that kind of advantage the championship is well and truly over.
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialNorris's habit of unnecessarily driving onto the grass makes a reappearance.
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialAntonelli taking liberties with track limits again.
@racefans.netIt's 60 years since the last time an Italian won the Italian Grand Prix at Monza:
@keithcollantine.bsky.socialOdds shortening on a Verstappen win and another destroyed monitor at Mercedes.
