The appointment with the race valid for United States Grand Prix it is getting closer and closer for fans and drivers, with the latter starting from the starting grid at 9.00 pm Italian time. However, a few hours from the green light on the Circuit of the Americas, the protagonists of the Circus will challenge each other on a track that will present one Announcements compared to the tests to face on Friday and Saturday: the Race Direction, in fact, took care of the removal of the orange bead here I’m outside of Curve 1.
Consequently, the pilots will undergo an automatic cancellation of the time in case they have to go outside the aforementioned stretch. This intervention is only the latest of those already implemented at the height of curves 9 and 19, where one will be shown black-white flag to the one who will use the outside of the track in those points for a maximum of three times, regardless of where the infringement will occur. If the driver in question should repeat the same maneuver even after the flag has been displayed, the Race Direction will assess a penalty.
The attention of the stewards will also focus on curve 6, with the warning, addressed to the pilots, not to cut inside the white-red curb. Unlike the other sections of the track mentioned, in this case, however, there will not be the limit of three maneuvers allowed to the protagonists of the Circus. As regards curve 1, which will therefore not see the presence of the orange curb, the change is mainly due to security reasons: the removal was decided after the accident that took place during Race-2 of the W Series, which saw as the protagonist Fabienne Wohlwend: the latter, in fact, was forced to retire due to mechanical problems after hitting the bollards heavily, to such an extent that the car was raised slightly from the ground. Although fortunately there were no consequences, in order to avoid the repetition of such an episode, the Race Direction thus proceeded to remove it.
