FP2 actually happened on time. Lots of problems with the curbs coming up and cutting tires. GP2 Qualifying was postponed so they could temporarily weld the curbs in place but at least one came loose in FP2.

I can see lots of places where biting off too much curb coming into a corner could pitch a car into a barrier. Worst case, you might see a pile-up. Pit entry looks bad.

Lots of places where a damaged or broken car might take forever to collect. God forbid more than one ends up in the run-off zones at a time. Backing out of the run-off near turn 8 (only option, it's too narrow for anything else) puts you backing up into oncoming traffic.

If they have much safety car time, or a red flag on Sunday, that late start time might bite them in the ass.

Another classic "European" GP.
