Another boring ass track. Where is the challenge there?
So I take it you wont be watching this race. I think the skill is apparent in that the winner will be holding the perfect racing line through all 50 odd laps in sapping heat losing about 3-4 KGs (7-8 pounds) while fighting off the effects of dehydration, and the discomfort of racing overalls that trap the heat inside.

The smooth driving Jenson Button will be able to preserve his tires well, make them last longer than the competition and may very well take the checquered flag. Now that should be an incentive for you to watch it

That has no bearing on the fact the track IS indeed a boring setup. Boring, boring, boring!
