Formula 1 | Controversy at Silverstone over the "bump" issue: drivers disappointed by the new track asphalt [VIDEO]

During the first free practice this morning, Sebastian Vettel and many drivers on the grid complained about the strong 'bumps' present on the new Silverstone asphalt, underlining how these dips make driving difficult, especially on the Farm, a corner where this year it is possible open the DRS. During this morning's live broadcast on Sky, Matteo Bobbi, through the now well-known Sky Sport Tech, analyzed precisely this factor, revealing how the onboards confirm the major complaints made by the pilots via radio.

In fact, in many sectors of the track, the car tends to make small jumps, a factor that makes corner entry more complicated. The most surprising thing, however, is the fact that Silverstone was resurfaced a few months precisely to eliminate these hills. Precisely for this reason, the riders expected a completely different asphalt, much smoother and similar to that of Paul Ricard. We will see in the second session how the teams will be able to stem this phenomenon.
