Something about the way that article is written really irks me, is it AI?

Looks too narrow to be relatively safe in case of an accident. I hope I'm wrong and there won't be a massive pile up because nobody can dodge wrecked cars

Looking forward to it This preview video with Sainz did suggest it could be a good one for racing!

While I appreciate the safety engineering that went into the barrier, I think the wall is too close to the track limit. There's no room for error for the drivers.

Depends on the line used really. No different to street tracks though.

I have the same safety concerns about street tracks.

The Saudi one is the one that scares me.
