Well, a new circuit to all the current drivers and possibly it may make driver input a little more important? I know they can all drive sims of the track so they don't exactly have to "learn" it from scratch, but I would think when the drivers get on the circuit for real they will take some time to suss out the track and get quicker over the weekend.
Got me thinking, who has the form for this? Starting with raw stats, Lewis and Seb have the plaudits for winning on most different circuits.
Here's the stats rest of the drivers on the grid who have won races (excluding Gasly)
Valtteri Bottas
7 wins different circuits
10 pole different circuits
Sebastian Vettel
21 wins different circuits
23 pole different circuits
Charles Leclerc
2 wins different circuits
7 pole different circuits
Max Verstappen
7 wins different circuits
2 pole different circuits
Kimi Raikkonen
15 wins different circuits
13 pole different circuits
Daniel Ricciardo
7 wins different circuits
2 poles different circuits
Just as a comparison, here are the stats for the man with the most race wins and WDC;s
Michael Schumacher
23 wins different circuits
20 pole different circuits
