Getting rid of the final chicane that “ruined” Barcelona should pave the way for more overtaking, according to Alex Albon F1
The “perfect” removal of the final chicane that “ruined” the Spanish Grand Prix lap should pave the way for more overtaking, according to Williams Formula 1 driver Alex AlbonA return to the previous high-speed final sector, last used by the championship in 2006, has shortened the lap by 18 metres. The change was conceived to boost overtaking possibilities.
But Albon says the removal of the “ugly” final chicane, which previously denoted Turns 13 to 15, will help overtaking by allowing drivers to take differing lines to boost the spectacle.“Those three corners were always a bit of a tricky one for us. We'd always lose quite a lot of lap time through there. So, getting rid of that is perfect.”
