They haven't known this place was going to be a racetrack for 2 years - 1 year or so only. It's been reported consistently that a large amount of drainage etc work was being done under the roads before they were re-sealed, so I think the new mix has not been down long at all. Don't recall it happening at many circuits but it is something that can happen as we occasionally see.

Wouldn't surprise if they make some layout changes or tweaks for year 2 - it's not unusual to make such changes from year to year.
