There have been plenty of complaints about the track surface ahead of this weekend's MiamiGP. But why are drivers encountering grip issues despite the resurfacing work since last year's inaugural race? Explainer:
said after qualifying that he felt there had been no step forward in the track situation.
“If we talk about the roughness that we measure, we found that the micro roughness is much lower,” he said. “The point is that they cleaned the racing line, the grip increased on the racing line, but not outside the racing line,” added Isola. “When we go to Melbourne, Jeddah, even Baku, really high grip, lots of grip off-line as well. It creates good racing and good confidence from the driver.
“The main mechanism is that this high-pressure water is removing the top layer of the bitumen. So, it's like an artificial accelerated ageing. This exposes the stone in order to have proper mechanical grip, but it didn't happen here. They were the washing the track... and it was too mild.”
