The track's bad but if Lewis wins then it will become good, possibly the best track on the calendar

I don’t understand making a bad track if you are starting from scratch on a street circuit. Are the restrictions they are working with that bad, or are they incompetent? (Also see Miami)

imo it's a combo of vegas /miami sucks and also wanting to include all the "sights" of vegas/miami

Yes

Also vegas sucks, but if I can fanagle a work trip around the GP weekend it might suck slightly less. Apparently all the hospitality and vendor schmooze stuff is so expensive everyone is doing miami or austin instead, at least in tech world.

"they care about being 'the fastest track' and nothing else because the folks who have all the money and power there (this includes miami but moreso) are soulless and also brainless" is my wild-rear end guess but I'm open to alternatives I guess

The Saudi (or Qatari? I don't remember which and tbh it doesn't matter) race was "supposed to be replaced" with a monstrosity of a design that had a figure 8 design and something ridiculous like 37 "turns". Of course no one with a brain ever thought that they'd actually construct that track.

You can still drive by the stands which stand to this day and follow most of it as its a public autobahn leading out of Berlin. Hella fun.
