On Saturday morning, the FIA announced that measures were going to be taken against tyre problems for the Qatar Grand Prix. One of those measures is that the track limits in turns 12 and 13 have been revised. The drivers are not happy about this and have just had a meeting.

Pirelli and the FIA found out after the first free practice that the tyres had heavy wear at the time of driving several laps on the tyres. As a result, the FIA decided to take measures. These included adjusting the track limits in turns 12 and 13.

So the track is now tighter in the corners whose track limits have been adjusted. The drivers are not happy about these measures, and they called a meeting. This meeting is now over, but little is being released about its outcome.
