Martin Brundle disagrees with Lewis Hamilton with 'differentiator' view on F1 topic

Martin Brundle has disagreed with Lewis Hamilton's view on a controversial corner at the Miami Grand Prix, insisting the "tight chicane" was good for television. The inaugural Miami Grand Prix proved a huge hit in America with around quarter of a million spectators in attendance over the weekend.

Drivers had just a few days to familiarise themselves with the new track around the outside of the Miami Dolphins' Hard Rock Stadium. And there were several corners which caught drivers out during free practice as they tested their limits.

The chicane at Turn 14/15 proved to be most troublesome for many and Hamilton was one of several drivers to speak out about the corners. Hamilton said the elevated chicane reminded him of "being in a B&Q car park" and asked for race organisers to remove it in the future.

Max Verstappen, who won Sunday's race, also took aim at the chicane, insisting he was almost "knocked out" at one point. He said: "The kerb combination, I remember in the four laps I did on Friday, I almost knocked myself out because I hit the first kerb and your head just bounces from left to right at least five or six times.

"It's really bad if you take just a tiny bit too much because the cars are so wide, so long, so stiff and super-heavy that the little kerb that there is...it's just not made for it, to be honest."

Other than that tight chicane, most drivers walked away from the weekend praising the first race in Miami. Brundle too felt the entire spectacle proved to be a huge success, and even disagreed with Hamilton and Verstappen on the chicane.
