Fo𝔍rmula 1 ไrace director Michael Masi insists there is nothing wrong with the drag strip run-off area at Hockenheim, following a number of incidents at the German Grand Prix.

Charles Leclerc branded the run-off as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“unacceptable” after the Ferrari driver crashed out of the rac꧃e at the penultimate corner, having skated off the circuit in wet conditions.

Erstwhile race-leader Lewis Hamilton followed him off into the same section of run off moments later, but ༒was able to recollect his Mercedes car despite a hit with the barriers.

They were among several drivers, including Nico Hulkenberg, Carlos Sainz and Kimi Raikkonen, to have incid🌺ents in the final sequence of corners after running wide.

“The drag strip looks fine,” said Masi after the race. “We inspected it the other day and had 💞a look a💞gain post-race with the water on it. It is fine.

“Even Sebastian [Vettel] is quoted as saying that it is normally one of the grippiest parts of the track and it is no different to any of the other painted run-off,𒁃 to be quite honest.

“I tღhink it was one of those ones where if you put water on painted run-off then, as much as you can do anything to make sure it is anti slip paint, it 🍃is still more slippery than unpainted tarmac.”

Asked whether the FIA’s advi🗹ce for drivers was to stay off the po🅷rtion of run-off, Masi replied: “Correct. It is called track limits controls!”

McLaren’s Lando Norris admitted he 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:feared having a crash en route to the starting grid after testing out th💛e Turn 16 run-off prior to the race.

Despite facing a number of cꦕomplaints, Masi says all 20 drivers are in agreement that there should be some form of punishment for running off circuit.

“They may claim it is too dangerous but from our end, using Austria as the example, the drivers were all q﷽uite pleased with it, even with the bum♔ps and that,” he added.

“It punishes them for making mistakes and it was very si🔜milar here. It’s ꦿone of those sorts of venues.

“We saw the other implementation we had to do regarding Turn 1 with the track limits side. You are ඣbalancing it to a degree, but credit where it is due, all 20 drivers have been very consistent in their views that if they run off the track there should be consequences for doing it.

“Maybe straight after the race they might have a differe𝔉nt view with the ܫway it has affected them but sitting down with them individually and as a group, that has been their consistent view and it hasn’t changed.”
