New Turn 1/2 run-off barrier to prevent corner cutting at F1 Canadian GP
Over the years F1 drivers have often🌞 been seen running deep across the asphalt run-off area a🌺nd re-joining as the left-hander bends back on itself before the short straight that leads to Turn 3.
Such incidents usually occur when a driver locks up or misjudges their braking point, or at the start of races when the field notoriously concertinas up through the opening sequence of corn🌊ers.
But now, thanks to the addition of a widened tyre barrier across the asphalt run-off area, drivers will have to sharply tur🔜n back in order to rejoin the track after running too deep.&nꦜbsp;
If they cannot turn around, driꦡvers will have to cut across a grass verge to get back onto the circuit.
As well as preventing corner-cutting, the changes should also decrease the likelihood of ca𓂃rs being taken out by being side-swip🐷ed at Turn 2 in the event a driver loses control or spins off.
