Slight difference to the track this year which may improve times, mainly due to a psychological factor.
The bridge that crossed Thunder Valley has been removed so people now access the paddock through a tunnel between stations 13 and 14. This makes the steepness of the hill more visible but doesn't actually change the track configuration.
However, before the change, drivers needed to be concerned about hitting the concrete bridge support and they had a blind spot heading towards the bridge. With that removed, drivers seem to be taking more chances there now that the can see where they think they are going.
There are more spins, wheels off and incidents there this season than I remember ever being reported before. Should be interesting.
