Reverse unpopular opinion, F1 Street tracks 👀

I have no beef with a street track so long as it's a street track done properly. Case in point, my most darling beloved Marina Bay Street Circuit in Singapore.

It's still the best street circuit on the calendar to me as it's the perfect balance of aesthetics and being a track that provides good racing (which, without trying to pivot from the point of this ask game too much, the rest of the circuits on the current calendar don't do).

While it is filled with slow speed corners, drivers can still overtake (see Sebastian Vettel going from P22 to P5 in 2016) and we've seen some good on track battles in various races over the years.

Also, it's very pretty and gives us lots of sparkly helmets.

Monaco is also very pretty and since this is the being nice game, it is definitely the most challenging circuit in terms of the drivers needing to keep a hold of their concentration (if no one's crashed, then they're great at doing their jobs). The 2023 race was also fun because the rain caused so much chaos.
