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? 8 / 10 – Whilst not the fastest track, it sure feels that way with the narrowish track surrounded by walls. Some great sweeping bends plus long straights that promote overtaking.

ACTION? 9 / 10 –It’s a track where stuff usually happens.

BIG HISTORY? – 8 / 10 – Been around since the late 1970’s and has been the home to some big name drivers first wins. Mainly Lewis Hamilton, and Thierry Boutsen.

INCLEMENT WEATHER? – 4 /10 The Weather Channel says there’s very little chance of rain. It’s all good. The track doesn’t need it. There could be smoke from nearby Wildfires, so that’s an extra element to consider, that the drivers won’t be able to see.

RACE POTENTIAL RATING 73% – 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.
