Five takeaways from the 2021 Portuguese Grand Prix
3 May, 2021
The 2021 Formula 1 season was off to an exciting start and the Portuguese Grand Prix in Portimao had all the ingredients to deliver another thrilling race.
With it’s slippery surface, unpredictable windy conditions, and a “roller-coaster” layout featuring significant elevation changes and fast corners; the Algarve-based circuit should have delivered a blockbuster of a race. However, the race was somewhat uninspiring.
Had it not been for the stewards’ ever confusing enforcement of track limits, and Kimi Raikkonen’s race-ending-crash into the back of his teammate’s car; the race would have been even more dull.
