The FIA has revised an earlier change to the barriers at Montreal’s first corner ahead of Sunday’s Formula 1 Canadian GP following consultation with the drivers.In previous years, drivers overshooting Turn 1 could return to the track beyond Turn 2 and blend into traffic relatively safely.
Both options were used on Friday and in the evening’s drivers briefing the subject was discussed at length, withapparently pointing out that he’d never seen a car have the type of accident that the barrier extension was designed to prevent. “The [original] change was done to avoid the possibility of a car going off at T1 and coming across the exit of T2 at speed and potentially t-boning another car,” an FIA spokesperson told Autosport.
“In hindsight, we probably should have been consulted about the views on that before decisions were made. And we all agree that it's suboptimal.”
