Abu Dhabi off-camber F1 corners should be banked, say Verstappen, Leclerc
The circuit at Zandvoort has several off-camber corners, particularly in turns 12 to 16, which makes racing side-by-side difficult and limits passing opportunities. Turns 7 and 8 also have off-camber corners, which affect traction and make it challenging to gain speed down to Turn 9. The popularity of banked corners at Zandvoort has been enhanced due to the passing opportunities they provide in turns 3 and 14. Max Verstappen suggests that the off-camber corners should be changed to banked corners, especially around the hotel section and at Turn 7, to improve racing. Charles Leclerc agrees that the off-camber corners are difficult for following and supports Verstappen’s suggestion to rework them with added camber. Banking the corners would enhance racing and add to the already existing overtaking opportunities at Zandvoort.
