Moderator MBKF1 Posted November 21, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 21, 2018 Last race of the season everyone, and it's at one of the most boring tracks on the calendar!I completely understand why F1 chooses Abu Dhabi to be the last race of the year because of the spectacle and the glamour of Abu Dhabi, but in terms of the racing, it would be so much better to have it somewhere like Brazil or the USA in my view.Bet Hamilton is gonna win again zzzzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggy Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 This track is more fun in the games than in real life.This is the 8th year in succession that I have said that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator UP100 Posted November 21, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 21, 2018 Abu Dhabi is one of the races I love. Not because it's exciting (as I don't care about racing that much). I hate Brazil just because it's nothing more than green with some asphalt and grandstands. Don't ask. I don't know either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenColt Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I can see Mercedes bolting in a new engine with 2018 parts in Lewis's car and make this entire weekend an extended testing session for 2019, even if it means having him start from the back of the grid. At least that could spice up the race somewhat. Other than that, I completely agree with Kimi's first comment on the Abu Dhabi circuit back in 2009.

Moderator f1since08 Posted November 25, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2018 And the halo fears come true. We need this answered from the FIA, we've never had an answer about this situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I asked that on Twitter. If that car burst into flames would he have been able to get out upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator MBKF1 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2018 I was so confused because Charlie Whiting said after the race that the halo did not restrict Hulkenberg in any way, and he would have been able to get out, but he stayed in the car as the drivers have been instructed it's safer for the car to be rolled over and then get out once it's on its wheels.However, Hulkenberg's radio message saying 'Get me out, there's a fire, there's a fire' doesn't suggest that... He sounded genuinely fearful in his voice, and surely he would've got out once he saw the fire. I think Charlie Whiting's comment isn't quite right...But anyway, I still think the that having the halo is a good thing, because the chances of a car rolling and catching fire is so slim these days. We've seen how the halo has potentially saved a couple of drivers from injury this year too (Leclerc at Spa, Formula 2 in Barcelona), so it's definitely better to have it there just in case.

Moderator MBKF1 Posted November 26, 2018 Author Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2018 Also, did anyone else get a bit emotional when Hamilton, Vettel and Alonso drove round in formation at the end? I thought that was so so nice. It was like the three of them were all recognising that they have been the 3 top drivers for a generation. They all respect each other the most, and that was their way of showing that. Absolutely loved that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would've been great to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hughesy Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Nah Kimi would have went to find the nearest bar like a true champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warisali Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Yeah the scenery and atmosphere is great, but it almost always has a boring race. And even the glamour and all isn't that thrilling anymore. Singapore gives the same excitement and scenery with better racing. lotterysambad provide daily results about the games like lottery,horse racing, nagaland state lottery and much more.

RRL2016 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 If Abu Dhabi had some circuit modifications it would be a great track in my opinion. There's a YouTuber called Jimlaad43 who did a great job of 'fixing' the track. In racing games I love driving but it could be better and in real life could be a bit better to watch.
