How F1 cars left Mugello with its own Eau Rouge paradox
Formula 1's maiden race at Mugello had it all: thrills, spills and a battle of wills. Although the circuit tested the drivers physically, the modern-era F1 machinery rather took some of the sting out of the circuit's tail
Ever since Formula 1 drivers were left thrilled by the driving challenge of Mugello back in 2012 when the last group test was held, those involved in the championship have long wondered just what a grand prix would be like there.
Mark Webber famously tweeted at the time: "Did 10 dry laps today around Mugello, which is the same thing as doing 1000 laps around Abu Dhabi track in terms of satisfaction."
