The problem is not the track itself maybe, but once offline there seems to be no grip at all.
Practice/Qualifying is one thing, but will that be an interesting race?

I have enjoyed the track so far. There's a fair bit of variety in turns and I thought all the sliding seemed to be creating a challenge, not just off-line, but on tyre warm-up too, I wonder whether to do with the lower pressures this year. On an out-lap they still seemed to be booting the throttle and it giving a bit of a kick in surprising places in fast corners. There is some concern about passing in the race, though.
The clumsy Turn 14/ 15 chicane is a good challenge to my eyes. Verstappen spun there near the end of FP3. It's uphill, slightly blind over the crest and you could see slightly different approaches to tackling it.
