Bahrain drains filled with concrete for F1 race after testing disruptions
The plan to seal drains at Bahrain’s Turn 11 was proposed by F1 stakeholders after a drain cover incident during testing last week. The FIA confirmed remedial works, including filling drains with concrete, have been completed following the incidents. Drivers will no longer need to alter their lines at Turn 11, staying within track limits while maintaining speed and protecting tires. Concrete works were also done at an additional area around Turn 7 to prevent similar issues. Race director Wittich emphasized the importance of respecting track limits to avoid lap time invalidation during the Bahrain race.
