Brundle suggests it's time for a change in Abu Dhabi

Martin Brundle has admitted he thinks the Yas Marina Circuit has work to do if it wants to deliver spectacular races. The former Formula 1 driver knows exactly what the biggest problems of the circuit is.

The Brit admitted that the lap in Abu Dhabi is perhaps the most beautiful in the calendar. This year's empty grandstands and gloomy atmosphere was of course due to the coronavirus, he explained in his column on Sky. "That's a very temporary problem hopefully, but the racetrack layout is not and that's an issue because other than DRS passes we rarely saw organic wheel-to-wheel action," said Brundle.

According to Brundle the runway should theoretically offer a lot of opportunities for overtaking, but he knows what the problem is: "The problem is there are simply too many off-camber corners which exacerbate the aerodynamic problems of following other aero-laden cars."
