We'll just have to see.

I'm not as bothered by the tightened version of Verrerie, but I kind of fail to see the point of racing at Paul Ricard if you're not going to use the full, uninterrupted Mistral.

I'm wondering if the front straight will be long enough to make an overtake happen; I might add, this is made harder by the fact that Pont is slower and tighter than it used to be, so the cars will spread out more heading past the pits.

As far as I can tell, this is the second-longest circuit on this year's F1 calendar at 3.782 miles (baseline of 3.574 miles, plus the tightest variant of Verrerie, and then that particular iteration of the Mistral Chicane).

If anyone needs a break from the paved run-offs of Le Castellet, just look up practice from Road America on the IndyCar YouTube channel.
