Agreed most of the new tracks are boring, although of the old Monaco is the standout winner.
Mercedes have an extra power boost so should dominate qualifying. Then it will be down to the start to see if the top cars can make an impact In the first two corners, after that it will be a procession...
Looks even more difficult for cars to overtake. Hamilton had clearly the fastest car. Another season of pit stop strategy. Probably also going to be decided on reliability as only three engine changes allowed before penalties are dished out. Disappointing start to the season.
