Are you nuts? They'd red flag it after a couple turns, for debris: pink overall shreds all over the racing line.


Grosjean still would complain and tumble down.

Is the tarmac they have used to resurface the straight any different to whats used elsewhere as I don't recall ever seeing an issue like this before where new tarmac isn't allowing water to drain.

This is actually a really good idea. If they had actually bothered following up the suggestion for spec active suspension, this would be really easy to do. They could even adapt the parc ferme regs to allow for limited wing changes too.

wow, people paying what? 200 bucks to stay on the main grandstand watching f1 drivers playing with cameras in good weather. Liberty media is this really the best you can do?
