F1 Drivers 'Trying to See the End of the Straight' on Bumpy Interlagos Track
Drivers Complain of Poor Visibility as Track Conditions Worsen
Formula One drivers have expressed concerns about the bumpy track surface at Interlagos, saying that it is making it difficult to see ahead and is putting them at risk. The track has been resurfaced since last year's race, but the new surface is proving to be much more uneven than the old one.
Drivers Report Poor Visibility
Several drivers have reported that they are struggling to see the end of the straights on the track, which is making it difficult to judge their braking points. This is particularly dangerous on the long main straight, which is over 1 kilometer long.
"It's very bumpy, and it's making it difficult to see," said Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton. "You're trying to see the end of the straight, but it's just a blur. It's not ideal, and it's not safe."
Track Conditions Worsening
The track conditions are expected to worsen over the weekend as the race weekend progresses. The weather forecast is calling for rain, which will make the track even more slippery and unpredictable.
The FIA, the governing body of Formula One, is monitoring the situation and has said that it will take action if the track conditions become too dangerous.
Drivers' Safety at Risk
The drivers are concerned that the bumpy track surface is putting their safety at risk. They say that it is making it difficult to control their cars, and that they are at risk of crashing.
"It's a safety issue," said Red Bull driver Max Verstappen. "We're going very fast, and if you can't see where you're going, it's very dangerous."
FIA Monitoring Situation
The FIA is monitoring the situation and has said that it will take action if the track conditions become too dangerous. The FIA has the authority to make changes to the track, such as repaving it or adding more grip to the surface.
The FIA is also working with the circuit owners to find a long-term solution to the problem. The circuit owners have said that they are committed to making the track safer for drivers.
