The circuit created chaos, which required skill to manage on and off track since you need to be ready to adapt. So it was exciting to watch.

I think I like this track more for racing than for qualifying though. A little bit like Baku, but with uglier scenery.

I think Baku is more exciting as there are lots of narrow spots on the track where it requires a lot of skill to thread the needle. Here it is 3 or 4 wide most of the track.

I agree Baku is more exciting but this track was still more exciting than expected. Going back here next year doesn't seem so bad now.
