The return of Barcelona's high-speed final sector for the first time since 2006 was hoped to bring about more overtaking opportunities. But F1 drivers predict that it may not have the intended consequence in the Spanish GP ⬇️
For the first time since 2006, the championship will cut out the oft-maligned low-speed Turn 14-15 left-right chicane and will revert to the two high-speed open right handers to complete the lap.
With a perceived lack of overtaking so far in 2023 partially blamed on the Pirelli tyres being more limited by overheating rather than degradation, AlphaTauri driver Nyck de Vries reckons that will again be a major factor this weekend. Drivers also cited the 2023 cars for exacerbating fears that the revised Barcelona lap will not lead to increased overtaking.
