at what point does a kink stop being classed as a kink and become a corner?

Depends which start is used. The other starting line is at the La Source-Eau Rouge straight. This is actualy the classic starting position.
Mid Ohio is usualy started from the back straight which ends in a righthander. |

In fact, the kink in Montreal is enough to put pole position on the left. The last corner is left-hander as is first "real" corner which would usually mean pole on the right side. Other current F1 circuits where there is different directions for first and last corner. - Sepang - Shanghai - Valencia - Spa - Abu Dhabi |

People can't count turns. The backstraight's hairpin in Shanghai is counted as two corners where it shouldn't and the ridiculous chicane right-hander in Singapore is coutner as three corners although drivers almost don't turn left.

All this stuff about what is a turn and isn't a turn is driving me round the bend.

Has anyone said Sebring yet?
Also Imola (probably already mentioned), Oschersleben, Lauzitzring and Norisring |

as for left handed first corners in current season F1 tracks, I can think of Singapore, Istanbul, Interlagos, Montreal off the top of my head anyway. |
