smackfu posted:I’m surprised they just added the Dutch Grand Prix since it seems in the same category as Spa but without the history. I'm not entirely sure how Spa and Zandvoort are comparable, Spa is wide, fast, flowing and a long lap. Zandvoort is more like a theme park ride with limited overtaking potential. Just last week we had to read chapter and verse of learned individuals fresh off a netflix show and a brief skim read of daniel ricciardo's wikipedia page trashing Silverstone, when it went on to give one of the best races of the season because it is suited so well for this new formula.

Zandvoort is as exciting as Monaco but without the history and the boats. The tramp steamers don't cut it.

- The best part of the race was when Russell DQ'd himself and then moaned to the FIA and lost. - Lmao Ferrari, just lmao - Sergio Perez 2022 WDC - Hamilton is allowed to rise to 3rd place on non-consecutive races. - McLaren pls do the needful and just fire Dan into the sun. - Happy that Zhou is ok - Happy for Chilli Sainz for first win. Ferrari certainly didn't like it though and that made it even better. - Get hosed Max - Get hosed George - Get hosed Dan - Lmao Ferrari once again for good measure.

Yeh I'm not with you on the Russell thing when they let Perez come back on the back of a truck then take a regular restart, also the footage of him on top of those tyres was a very non-tory thing to do.

Logistics around Spa tends to be dogshite. So let the Zandvoort organizers do the Logistics for Spa, just call it the Dutch GP anyway and ditch Zandvoort

The roads do get full up after the race but just chill out for a bit afterwards and leave later. We were amazingly lucky with the weather though and if I did Spa again I'd be paying for covered grandstand - just so you don't have to get to the circuit at 9am to get a good spot to sit down, and because when it pisses it down you can actually still enjoy it a bit.

Zandvoort was surprisingly really good and I hope more tracks add in banked corners. Portugal would probably be a good candidate with all the wild elevation changes.

Spa and Zandevoort should both be on the calendar (especially Spa) and they should just bin one of the tracks in the ME or the US that’s completely devoid of personality but we know they won’t. What’s next? Suzuka?

Bahrain is a perfectly fine track so if they would at least make interesting tracks in the ME that would help.

While the woods section owns sadly I don't think they maintained it and its all basically forest now. The circuit is a neutered version of its former self as it stands.

Interesting to note that Fartin Bumdle's commentary was bad in exactly the same manner even back then. "Part magical mystery tour"? The gently caress is that supposed to mean? Does he even know what that phrase references? He just thinks it means a lengthy excursion?
