Another thing I'd forgotten about was the slight controversy around the qualifying format from last year.
You only get an hour on Wednesday in Qualifying practice to get into the top six for Hyperpole. So very hard to nail a lap without traffic. We saw Albuquerque mess up last year and that was the beginning of their race unravelling.
Unfortunately there are still so many hours upon hours of inconsequential free practice prior to the race. Too much IMO.
