During the analysis after the race, Sky Sports presenter Simon Lazenby questions the design of the track and how you can design a circuit without overtaking opportunities. Rosberg immediately responds: “Carlos Sainz is the ambassador. We need to criticize Sainz.”
“They need to review the layout again for next year and at least add one good overtaking opportunity,” Rosberg concludes. “We really need that on this track because it is too difficult to overtake anywhere right now.”
