I feel like the grid is the wrong way around here and pole should have been on the inside.
Or Max is just that damn good.
Before the race started, every driver/pundit said the inside is usually quite dirty and it statistically puts you at a distinct disadvantage down to turn one. This year's race start runs contrary to previous years where the pole sitter has comfortably held the lead.
I think the reason is because the outside is the normal racing line, so the inside is typically dirty
Yup. Regardless of who one supports, it is a bad design IMHO.
I feel like I remember Bottas talking about purposely trying to qualify 2nd here in 2021
