was more positive about the layout, and said concerns about the tricky pitlane exit, which rejoins the track on the racing line for Turn 1, isn’t as bad as he thought.“It seems like pit exit was a concern for everyone yesterday, but it doesn't seem like it's going to be that big of an issue. I think everyone's pretty calm on exit. It's pretty easy to see a car coming out.
“To be honest, you can't really see the car that's on track so you're very reliant on the car that's on track to kind of give way, for you to just kind of stay out of the way. That was more the concern than the double pit lane.Nevertheless, following feedback from drivers, the orange line that demarcates the pit exit from the cars on track has been angled towards the wall and shortened by three feet.
“I think that's going to be interesting in the race with the blend line where it is,” he said. “I think the pit exit is going to be something to look out for in qualifying, like impeding. “I don't know if they're going to mark it as impeding but it definitely gets you out of place if someone is sent there while you're on a flyer.
“A work in progress. Probably not a lot of space to work with. I know everybody is doing their best.”
