While many other #F1 tracks have installed gravel strips to deter drivers from running wide, Yas Marina's clumsy turn six-seven chicane still has a huge asphalt run-off. Worth remembering when the inevitable track limits rows start.

One thing F1 does do better these days is have procedures in place to acknowledge a champion being crowned at a grand prix. It feels incredible to look back on the Ecclestone era when this didn't happen.
