The MotoGP riders were calling the circuit a 'disaster' earlier in the year, referencing the bumps and broken-up track surface. With it being a sprint weekend with limited practice, some teams may get caught out. Red Bull have struggled with bumpy tracks this season so far (Canada, Singapore).

Yup, I think Mexico is a better bet than COTA for a non-RB win.

Yea he lost one at bahrain - where seems likely? COTA has been used in the past for engine penalties quite frequently. Brazil also offers a lot of overtaking opportunity so maybe there

Wouldn’t be surprised if McLaren do a Mercedes 2021, take a new PU with only a few races to go and run it flat out

I think that may be true regarding the Mclaren (which we already saw a preview of in Austria) but I'm not sure about Mercedes because Mercedes was dreadful in Austria.

I love COTA a proper designed race track with a bit of everything for the drivers, also fond memories visiting in 2015 with family, terrible weather, great racing and a championship decider!

Lets hope for a good race again, maybe a bumpy track opens up an opportunity for a non-red Bull win or at least a closer race for 1st which is what everyone wants to see.

I was in a scrum post race 2015!
