2020 Abu Dhabi GP out of 10

[Greenlantern101]

How did you rate the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix?

 

[P1]

56 parade laps

 

[Galahad]

Something about this circuit makes me nostalgic for Valencia. 0

 

[aaron8831]

Thankful for the negative rating option. What a god awful track.

 

[cider_and_toast]

A big fat Zero.

The only thing I learnt from this race is that the Sky commentary team could work for Donald Trump. Every 4 or 5 laps they tried desperately to suggest there was still something going to happen that would dramatically change the race.

An absolute snooze fest.

I think 4
It was worst race of 2020 season

 

[The Pits]

Sounds like its not worth wasting time on the highlights then!

 

[sobriety]

I just wasted a couple of hours of my life on the "highlights". I feel truly sorry anyone who sat through it live.

 

[gethinceri]

No real overtaking.
Won by a retard.
-1.

 

[cousinDave]

I don't think that scale goes low enough.

-10

 

[F1Brits_90]

trying to think what was worse the manchester derby or the abu dhabi gp. weirdly that safety car killed the race

 

[rufus_mcdufus]

It's funny how certain circuits which always used to give us dull races now give us quite interesting ones (Bahrain), but once-good ones such as Spa seem to be a let down now. Abu Dhabi has always been shit though.

 

[Brogan]

Abu Dhabi has always been shit

Abu Dhabi Doo Doo?

 

[FB]

1 because a Mercedes didn't win.

 

[Johnny Carwash]

-10 The track that was responsible for the introduction of DRS once again fails to deliver. Has their been an overtake for the lead at this race track ever?

 

[cider_and_toast]

No idea but it has a really quirky, unique design of pit lane exit that, wait for it, actually goes under the race track and rejoins the circuit on the opposite side.

I mean, that's got to count for something?

Right?

Really?

 

[The Artist.....]

The problem with (most of Tilke's) tracks is that they are neither one thing, nor the other.

This is not a high speed screamer, in spite of the long straights, and isn't a fiddly technical circuit (although the 90 degree corners and spurt and squirt just spread cars out)...

The circuit could be improved massively by making the final section much smoother - and get rid of the 90 degree borefest corners...

So many circuits have taken their lead from Phoenix, rather than good tracks...

 

[F1Brits_90]

Tilke has made a few good tracks sepang, india & USA but the bad are far outweighed, but as it turns out we have alex wurz to blame apparently he worked for wurz's dad company. he was saying on beyond the grid

 

[The Pits]

Turkey can still produce a good race too.

 

[Legs]

That was the interesting (1991) configuration of Phoenix, rather than the point-n-squirt 1989/90 version.

I really enjoyed (parts of) the 1990 race, mind.
