I'll keep my comments till there is a video, but I can already imagine where the boring passing zones (DRS) will be.

God, how I hate street circuits.

I realize that they are appreciated because they can offer an exciting destination (see: Valencia, Monaco, Singapore, etc...)

God, how I hate street circuits.

I also realize that some counties can commit to financing these races. (See Monaco, Russia, Singapore)

God, how I hate street circuits.

I have come to accept that these street races allow the real races (see: Spa, Monza, Barcelona, Austin, Hungary) to continue. I am willing to watch four or five races at shit street circuit in order to keep the good ones on the calendar.

God, how I hate street circuits.

Haha, hilarious. Yeah, I can think back to the first street race I saw... IMSA Grand Prix of Miami—BORING!

Everone wants to see Road America, Mid-Ohio, Sears Point, something, anything but your dirty, uneven streets, bad turns and "chicanes" (stacks of tires).

Edit: In F1's case, yes, absolutely everyone wants Spa, Catalunya, whatever. Anything but the filthy streets of 'X'-town.

The only one I like at all is Monaco.

It's OK (and interesting) to have one or two of them, but when they start replacing good circuits, then there's going to be a problem.

Maybe they could spice it up a bit if they were chased by armed helicopters ...
