After a fraught Emilia Romagna GP for Mercedes, one of team boss Toto Wolff’s main frustrations was the potential consequences of the huge accident suffered by Valtteri Bottas. It was not the lost points that he was worried about, for Bottas was enduring a difficult race prior to being harpooned by the Williams of George Russell that was attempting to overtake the Finn,
Some tracks among the list of 10, like Sebring, Watkins Glen and Long Beach, were rather successful in their era – but fell away from use as the sport expanded and moved on.

Rightly or wrongly, overtaking is often used by fans as the measure of a good grand prix. More overtaking means more action and therefore more excitement, right? Not necessarily.
