FIA asked to clean Brazilian GP F1 circuit after screws triggered punctures
During the first practice session at Interlagos, Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso experienced left-rear punctures, which is concerning due to the limited practice time before qualifying. Autosport/Motorsport.com noted that dried mud was found in the track grooves designed to prevent aquaplaning. It is believed that screws and nails caused the punctures, with most of the debris being located in the pitlane. Pirelli, the F1 tyre supplier, has requested the FIA to clean the circuit to prevent further incidents. Aston Martin’s performance director reported the dirtiness of the track and Fernando Alonso mentioned that small stones made it feel as though he had been “sandblasted.” The team observed wear on the car as a result of the track’s condition.
