Losail to have “dramatic” changes for Qatar GP

Losail International Circuit will have some modifications ahead of the inaugural Formula 1 Qatar Grand Prix.

Why it matters: The 2021 Qatar GP will take place on November 19th-21st.

Details:

• Michael Masi has revealed that the pit entry has been changed as well as double curbs are going to be added.
• The F1 race director will visit Losail International Track ahead of the United States GP.

What he had to say:

• “They are changing the pit lane entry completely. What was the pit lane entry for bikes will change dramatically.”
• “There’s a number of double curbs that have been installed. The circuit is ostensibly a bike circuit, so apex sausages, so people don’t cut corners on the inside, and double curbs on exits [have been added].”
• “That work is nearly completed. I’ll head there again, prior to Austin, to have a look, but nearly all the works have been completed.”
