Formula 1 | Work has begun on the widening of Curve 1 in Barcelona

Work has begun on the expansion of the turn 1 escape route Barcelona. The objective is to move the barriers by 70 meters to increase the distance from the racing line and therefore safety. This year the Spanish Grand Prix di Formula 1 will take place at the beginning of July, and this is just the first of a series of changes. Over the years the Circut de Catalunya has been modified several times, in particular turn 9, and there is also talk of the abolition of that horrible final chicane, which does not seem to favor overtaking. According to SoyMotor, the famous pylon on the main straight will also be modernized, as well as the installation of a new grandstand.
