Sausage kerbs won't be removed at Paul Ricard
- GPblog.com
Despite many teams complaining about the sausage kerbs at Paul Ricard, Formula 1 is holding firm. The kerbs will not be removed this weekend and drivers should continue to take extra care not to go wide.
Teams not happy with yellow kerbstones
The usually well informed Andreas Haupt has reported this on his Twitter channel. Teams like Red Bull Racing and Mercedes do not like this. Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas already suffered damage when they drove over the high kerbstones at high speed on the outside of turn 2.
The high kerbs were out of sight for a long time, because track limits were often used instead of these kerbs. However, at Paul Ricard, the kerbstones were never removed after the 2019 French GP. Michael Masi, race director, finds it unnecessary to remove the kerbs after many complaints from teams and drivers.
#F1: no changes made. Yellow curbs stay beside the track. #FranceGP
