Formula 🍬1 race director Michael Masi insists there is nothing wrong with the drag strip run-off area at Hockenheim, following a number of incidents at the German Grand ▨Prix.

Charles Leclerc branded the run-off as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“unacceptable” after the Ferrari driver crashe⛎d out of the race at the penultimate cor꧑ner, having skated off the circuit in wet conditions.

Erstwhile race-leader Lewis Hamilton followed him off into t�😼�he same section of run off moments later, but was able to recollect his Mercedes car despite a hit with the barriers.

They were among several drivers, including Nico Hulkenberg, Carlos Sainz and Kimi Raikkonen, to have incidents in the final sequence of corners after ru🍸nning wide.

“The drag strip looks fine,” said Masi after the race. “We inspected🤡 it the other day and had a💞 look again post-race with the water on it. It is fine.

“Even Sebastian [Vettel] is quoted as saying that it is n🐼ormally one of the grippiest p♋arts of the track and it is no different to any of the other painted run-off, to be quite honest.

“I thi💮nk it was one of those ones where i🌃f you put water on painted run-off then, as much as you can do anything to make sure it is anti slip paint, it is still more slippery than unpainted tarmac.”

Asked whether the FIA’s advice for drivers was to stay off the portion of run-off, Masi replied: “Cꦗorrect. It is called track limits controls!”

McLaren’s Lando Norris admitted he 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:feared having a crash en route to the starting grid after testing out the Turn 16 run-off prior to the ra꧅ce.

Despite facing a number of complaints, Masi says all 20 drivers are in agreement that there should be some form of punishment 🍸for running off circuit.

“They may claim it is too dangerous but from our end, using 🍸Austria as the example, the drivers were all quite pleased with it, even with the bumps and that,” he added.

“It punishes them for making mistakes and it was very similar here. It’s one of t♌hose sorts of venues.

“We saw the other implementation we had to do regarding Turn 1 with the track limits side. You are balancing it to a degree, but credit where it is d𒆙ue, all 20 drivers have been very consistent in their views that if they run off the track there should be consequences for doing it.

“Maybe st♋raight after the race they might have a diff💝erent view with the way it has affected them but sitting down with them individually and as a group, that has been their consistent view and it hasn’t changed.”
