Revealed in August by a few photos shared on Twitter, the modification of the Parabolica of the Monza circuit to replace part of the gravel trap with a wide strip of asphalt has been widely commented on, often condemning what many observers have described as a lowering of the difficulty of this curve.<\/p>\n
Charlie Whiting, the safety delegate for the FIA, commented on these works, stating that this modification resulted from a joint decision for safety purposes: Approximately 35% of the gravel was replaced. This was required for safety reasons by the FIA and the drivers, just as it has been on practically all the circuits where F1 races.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Obviously, we know it doesn’t punish a driver who goes off the track, but it’s the price to pay for improved safety: a price that the drivers and I think is deserved, \u00bb he adds, for Autosport<\/i>. Nevertheless, the presence of a large strip of astroturf should prevent drivers from taking too much advantage of going wide, in addition to the dirt on the asphalt in that area.<\/p>\n Interesante modificaci\u00f3n de Parabolica, Monza.
