Although the Yas Marina Circuit was the scene of Max Verstappen’s first Formula 1 title, it does not rank high among the Dutchman’s favourite circuits. He has made a suggestion to improve the racing.
Max Verstappen has proposed changes to the Yas Marina Circuit in order to enhance the quality of racing. The circuit, which hosts the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as the season finale, has not been known for producing exciting wheel-to-wheel battles. Verstappen referenced the 2010 championship decider, where Fernando Alonso’s pursuit of the title was hindered by his struggle to pass Vitaly Petrov. The circuit underwent modifications in 2021 to improve overtaking opportunities, but Verstappen believes more needs to be done. Specifically, he suggests banking the off-camber corners, such as Turn 7, to provide better traction and racing conditions.
