The organizers of the Australian Grand Prix carried out the reconstruction of the circuit, which significantly changed the configuration of the circuit. On the Thursday before the round, Haas driver Kevin Magnussen expressed concern that overtaking at Albert Park would now be too easy.
“When I saw the updated schedule I thought some of the changes would be redundant,” quotes Race fans Kevin Magnussen. – They removed the ninth-10th corner, but I don’t think it was necessary. On the other hand, the organizers are making great efforts to make the races more interesting – that’s great. Let’s see how it goes in the race.
People can have different opinions about what is considered an interesting breed. Overtaking is also bad. I think we have to find the right balance. The rider must not only be able to overtake, but also defend. If you can’t defend and you’re overtaken for being a little slower, that’s no good either.
There was more overtaking in Jeddah than last year thanks to the fact that new cars allow you to chase and overtake rivals. I think if Melbourne hadn’t changed the configuration there would have been more overtaking.”
