Qatar F1 2024: Track Changes, Viewing Guide, and Key Battles
TL;DR Summary
The Qatar Formula 1 circuit has modified seven of its 16 corners by flattening the kerb profiles to prevent tyre damage, which previously led to the FIA imposing maximum stint lengths during races. The original sharp kerbs caused microscopic tyre separations due to the high-speed nature of the track. Pirelli has tested the new kerb designs and is confident they will reduce tyre stress. Additionally, narrow gravel strips have been added to deter drivers from exceeding track limits.
