"Thrilling MotoGP Indian GP: Marini, Bezzecchi, and Chantra Shine on the New Ex-F1 Layout"

The new layout of the Buddh International Circuit in India has proven to be more complicated and technical than expected for MotoGP riders, with many struggling with the mix of slow speed, late-braking corners and cambered high-speed bends. The track's lack of grip outside the racing line and the challenging nature of certain corners, particularly Turn 1, have caused numerous trips into the gravel traps. Despite the difficulties, riders have praised the track's technicality and the good job done in preparing the surface.

Canadian GP: Upgrades, Strategies, and Surprises.

The FIA has modified the barrier at Turns 1 and 2 of the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve after complaints from drivers during the Canadian Grand Prix. The barrier had been extended towards Turn 2 for safety reasons, but drivers were unsure about the ideal way to rejoin the track after running wide at Turn 1. The FIA has now shortened the barrier and added instructions for drivers to rejoin the track at the far end of the asphalt run-off at the entry of Turn 2. Mercedes' George Russell believed the drivers should have been consulted prior to the original decision to extend the barrier.

"Canadian GP Venue Implements Wall to Prevent Corner-Cutting"

The 2023 Canadian Grand Prix will feature a new concrete barrier in the Turn 1 run-off area to prevent drivers from cutting Turn 2. The barrier, which has a line of Tecpro in front of it, extends to the end of the grass on the inside of the Turn 2 apex, forcing drivers who run wide at Turn 1 to either drive over the grass or rejoin the track beyond an orange bollard. Other changes include the enlargement of the run-off at Turn 3 and realignment of the walls at Turn 7.
