F1 2023 - Fabi Preview Index Feature Image

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? 6 / 10 – It’s fast enough, with a nice, long straight that will feel like the Sahara Desert for F1 drivers after driving around Monaco. They have opened up the final corner now, removing that ridiculous chicane, which makes it faster. The first corners feel pretty fast too, giving the drivers and cars a good test.

ACTION? 2 / 10 – One of the first modern tracks as we know them that all look similar, it isn’t a race that screams action. Tactics yeah. Strategy sure. They can make things interesting, but up to a point.

BIG HISTORY? – 6 / 10 – The Spanish Grand Prix has been around for a while, at Barcelona it has been a fixture of the calendar since 1991, where Nigel Mansell and Ayrton Senna christened the new track with a pit straight long battle inches apart.

INCLEMENT WEATHER? – 1 /10 The Weather Channel says there’s very little chance of rain. Even worse, there’s a little bit of wind around that seems to change direction over the weekend, which will no doubt lead to many complaints of undrivable cars.

RACE POTENTIAL RATING 38% – It’s Monaco, and even if it is dull with no overtaking and a bore fest of fuel and tyre saving, it’s still Monaco.
