Silverstone circuit's Turn 1 has been modified in response to Alfa Romeo F1 driver Zhou Guanyu's dramatic crash on the opening lap of the 2022 British Grand Prix. Here's what has been changed ⬇️
The collision with rookie Zhou was enough to flip his car, which then skated on its roll hoop across the asphalt before digging in through the gravel trap.
This has been carried out via reducing the height at which a revised homologation test will be applied. Further tweaks to the structure are expected for 2024. There have been several pitches for an F1 race in the English capital, including former series boss Bernie Ecclestone targeting a city-centre circuit featuring famous landmarks in the 2010s.
