2024 Brazilian F1 Grand Prix Preview – Race Potential Rating
The Gurgler does like to use some obscure drivers in our Race previews and report, so who better to use than Teo Fabi to determine a race rating system.
So before each race we give a rating out of ten for four key category that are loosely based on each letter of Teo Fabi’s surname. Don’t know who Teo Fabi is, you should.
FAST? 7 / 10 – The track looks either like a badly drawn whale or bad break dancer. The latter suits as the Interlagos track has fast straights and sweeper with a twisty inner section that is quite technical and where you can throw away points and time. Much like Break Dancing at the Olympics. Especially excellent is the long, sweeping pit straight leading into the best overtaking place.
ACTION? 9 / 10 – It’s a track where stuff happens. Good overtaking spots help too. There’s usually weather and/or mixed up grids. Plus a Sprint Race if you please. So much happening, as it usually does.
BIG HISTORY? – 8 / 10 – The Brazilian Grand Prix has been around since the 70’s when Emerson Fittipaldi was winning Championships and has been at Interlagos since 1990. It used to be early in the season, but in recent years has been at the end and decided many a Championship.
INCLEMENT WEATHER? – 9 /10 The Weather Channel says 55% chance of rain on Saturday and 71% of rain on the Sunday. That eats.
RACE POTENTIAL RATING 83% – A classic that usually hosts classic races.
