F1 drivers warn against risk of Austin plank trouble repeat in Brazil
The sixth and final sprint race of the 2023 season is taking place at Interlagos. The sprint format has posed challenges for teams this year, as cars are locked under parc ferme conditions after Friday’s practice session. At the last sprint race in Austin, Ferrari and Mercedes were disqualified for excessive floor plank wear, which came as a surprise since they weren’t warned about it during practice. The bumpy layout of the circuit and the threat of rain on Friday at Interlagos have made it harder for teams to find the optimal ride heights. There is a risk of plank wear again this weekend, and some teams might have to take a more conservative approach to avoid disqualification.
