These type of street circuits are not on the top of many F1 fans favourite tracks but as Miami showed and Singapore, Baku, Vegas and even Monaco (had Alonso pitted at the right time), it can mix the order up and cause issues for a season’s dominant car.

With large sections of the fanbase very much in an ‘anyone but Max mood’ maybe Liberty’s decision to pursue these venues can be seen in a different light, a World Championship should test the cars and drivers in every possible racing aspect.

For that said fanbase, perhaps a silver lining has emerged with the impending departure of Adrian Newey, Red Bull are bullish (sorry) and will have been preparing for this day as it was inevitable but history show’s the teams he leaves rarely improve, with a huge rule change on the way for 2026 and Red Bull potentially needing a strong chassis if their homemade engine’s suffer any teething issues, it is an unquestionable blow.

What could compound the matter is if Newey joins a rival, Ferrari and Aston Martin are the favourites but don’t rule out Mercedes if they continue to suffer or even an emotional return to Williams, on the track 2024 hasn’t been perfect but off it, the F1 drama wheel has yet to slow down.
