The Canadian Grand Prix track has been altered in a bid to boost overtaking ahead of this weekend’s Grand Prix at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
One of the circuit’s best opportunities for overtaking is the run down into the turn 10 hairpin, and the following straight.
So it will come as pleasant news to the drivers to hear that the entry to turn 10 has been widened, allowing greater scope for overtaking.
The FIA’s circuit notes state that: ‘The opening after Turn 10 on drivers right has been significantly widened and extended.
‘With more lines to take exiting the corner, it could well tempt more drivers to attempt a move at Turn 10, before engaging in a drag race all the way down the long straight before hitting the final chicane.’
