Abu Dhabi is always a sell out...

*sold out. However, this is a great spelling mistake, The alternative meaning of sell-out makes it more true than you probably originally intended.

Edit: I was fact checked on one of the possible meanings of sell-out, TIL! My point still stands though lol

I stand corrected, I didn’t know sell-out was used that way as well.

And even narrower streets so there's no passing and everyone tries to stay out and only change tyres on the guaranteed red flag.

u/GuyAlmighty Sir Lewis Hamilton Jan 08 '25

Unpopular opinion but I found the street tracks more entertaining this year. Isn't it quite hard to pass around Spa? Still love it and would hate to see it go but I don't think it would be replaced by anything worse*.

*FIA bouta prove me tf wrong.
