Our exclusive images show the work being done to the kerbs at Turn 3, to prevent trapped water contributing to incidents like in the Brazilian Grand Prix sprint race
Organizers of the Brazilian Grand Prix used a concrete floor saw to create a drainage channel in Turn 3 kerbs at Interlagos to prevent water accumulation leading to crashes during the sprint race. The channel runs along the outer edge of the kerb and diverts onto the grass to improve water flow away from the track. Following heavy rain, the damp conditions during the race caused multiple incidents, with Lando Norris running wide and triggering a chain reaction of crashes. McLaren’s Oscar Piastri was among the drivers affected by the wet kerb and later admitted his mistake in drifting wide. Work was done overnight to address the issue and prevent similar incidents on Sunday’s race.
