Brundle: Drivers should have spotted ‘flashing red light’

Martin Brundle says drivers should have spotted the dangerous spots of the Miami Grand Prix circuit as if they had “flashing red lights on them”.

Much has been made of the Miami surface and track safety following the opening race at the venue and aside from the glitz and glamour, questions were raised about improvements that could be made for the future.

The managing partner of the track admitted they would be open to alterations with the ultimate goal of producing the best track they can, while one of the designers was pleased to see the “holy grail” of overtakes during a corner had been achieved.

One fan of the track was Sky Sports’ Martin Brundle, who was impressed with how the track surface stood up to the force of 20 Formula 1 cars.

“I think the Miami event team and F1 did a really great job with the track, especially given the confines and a rather dull canvas of a car park to work with,” he wrote in his column for Sky Sports. “Other than a big championship showdown race I’ve never experienced so much hype and excitement around a grand prix.
