The FIA's Nikolas Tombazis has responded to complaints from drivers after measures were announced to combat safety fears at the Qatar Grand Prix.
Nikolas Tombazis, the FIA’s single-seater director, has acknowledged that the F1 drivers’ frustration to emergency track changes at the Qatar Grand Prix is “understandable.”
Appearing on Sky F1’s coverage of the sprint shootout in Qatar, Tombazis said he understood the drivers’ discontent. “There were not one or two single kerbs, it was quite an extent – they would have had to have been filed off and that’s very hard concrete, that would not have been possible.
