Ahead of this weekend's Azerbaijan Grand Prix, minor changes have been made to the track to accommodate the new, faster cars. Most tracks this season have made changes to improve the safety standards to host the 2017 cars that are cornering at great speed.
The circuit layout itself has not been altered. At turns 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 and 15, the walls at the runoff area have been moved back so cars have more space and less chance of making contact with the wall.
The TecPro barriers at turns 1, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 15 have seen additional blocks been placed on them. The SAFER barriers that are placed at turns 13 and 19 have also been extended. The kerb has also been removed at turn 1.
