IT was a weekend of controversy for Formula One amid the fallout from the Qatar Grand Prix. But the FIA took more tangible precautions before Saturday’s sprint race by bringing the kerbs around the track further in to try and avoid tyre failure. “I still think the FIA should look at the circuit before they let us race here. “When I went round the track yesterday on the scooter, I thought the kerbs looked quite big. When you go beyond the highest point of the kerb you lose time, so I don’t feel like at this track we need to have track limits.”. He explained Norris’ qualifying penalty for exceeding track limits was harsh because of the new kerbs. Hamilton added: “I think we can take these kerbs as a good learning. We can take these kerbs to a bunch of other tracks.”.
