Miami ready to change ‘whatever we need to’ to improve track

The Miami Grand Prix could look a lot different next season after one of its organisers said they would be willing to alter the track following drivers’ complaints.

While the hype and buzz around the inaugural Miami Grand Prix has been huge, the drivers themselves have not been entirely content with the new track.

Their issues boil down to two problems. The first is the Turn 14/15 uphill chicane at which Alpine’s Esteban Ocon crashed during FP3, while Lewis Hamilton said it reminded him of a B&Q car park.

The other is an issue with the surface itself and drivers being concerned the poor condition of it would make it likely there would be fewer overtakes because the drivers believed the risk to be too great.

While no changes were made for Sunday’s race, one of the organisers of the Miami GP has admitted they would be willing to make alterations in order to achieve the best possible track.

Managing partner Tom Garfinkel told Autosport they were changing “whatever we need to, to make the track better”.

Almost mirror incidents for Sainz and Ocon!
