Last year there were many fans who complained about the high ticket prices and the lack of atmosphere on the stands, but on Sunday the crowd saw an interesting race again as championship leader Max Verstappen started from 9th, but managed to break to the very top and win the race.

Curirously, the organizers announced that all the tickets had been sold, but during the race, empty seats were spotted in the stands.

“The interest was much higher, we could have sold 150,000 tickets per day, but this would have negatively affected the experience of the fans at the track, it would have created problems with their movement, so we imposed some restrictions,” the organizers confirmed.
