    I thought the race was pretty good, and as a whole this race weekend was very entertaining. Sprint Qualifying was excellent, the sprint had good action (including 4 cars going into the same corner) and the race wasn’t bad. Shame the safety cars dictated (and to some extent ruined) the strategy, but we still got some good battles, some nice overtakes and a bit of chaos.

    It’s really been too long since we were here, Shanghai is a pretty fun track.

      I agree with you. The race was actually fun to watch. The safety cars brought back the advantages some had and allowed for more strategies. The sprint wasn’t too bad either but it had the same issue. Max’s pace was revealed on the sprint itself so the race winner was obvious. Didn’t spoil the race though.
