Thu, 10 October 2013, 11:25

There will be a few changes since last year on Suzuka circuit during this week`s Formula 1 Grand Prix.

Here is the list of changes presented by FIA:

– The artificial grass around the outside of Turn One now starts approximately 50m earlier, replacing a damaged verge;
– The verge on the left in Turn 10 has been levelled and taken up to the tyre barrier and wall, which have also been raised;
– A new debris fence has been installed on the left between Turns Nine and 10;
– A new opening has been provided on the left in Turn 11. This allows a gravel recovery vehicle to be positioned there instead of a large crane;
– The verge on the right approaching Turn 13 has been laid with a one-metre wide strip of artificial grass, replacing a verge prone to erosion;
– The last part of the tyre barrier around the outside of Turn 14 has been extended right, to the end of the guardrail.
