I guess we can here. I’m wondering if they can fix all of the track limits issues on the last two corners with some judiciously placed techpro walls. That way it’s a hard limit the F1 drivers can see easily like in street circuits, and it’s removable for the moto GP. Because I think we can all agree it’s apparently far too tempting for them at the moment to try and gain time on those corners, and it made following the race a nightmare.
If we use gravel then even enough of that coming on the track could trigger a red flag. TechPro walls look like a better solution than gravel.
The main issue is the intransigence of the drivers. I say put grass there for the F1 race every year and then pave it over for the other series. The track owners can send the yearly bill to the GPDA.
I heard in the French commentary that gravel isn’t an option because the track is shared with moto GP and their regs call for a minimum of 5m of asphalt on those turns.
