A partial resurfacing of the Spa circuit has shifted tyre strategies for F1's Belgian GP
A partial resurfacing of the Formula 1 circuit at Spa-Francorchamps has triggered headaches for drivers and teams in working out how best to attack the Belgian Grand Prix. Work was completed last month on resurfacing 3.5km of the Spa circuit, which is around half its length, in three areas. These were from Blanchimont to Eau Rouge, from the start of the Kemmel straight to Bruxelles and from the Campus bend to Paul Frere.
” Pirelli’s head of F1 and car racing Mario Isola said that the data collected from running so far showed the new surface was causing an increase in tyre wear. “It is smoother if you look at the roughness, but it is generating more grip,” he said.
