According to Motorsport, the general director of F1, Stefano Domenicali, apologized to the teams after the various failures that occurred during the last F1 Grand Prix presented in Montreal.
Trouble spots obviously didn’t stop making headlines off the slopes. The specialized magazine first cites a communication interruption between the circuit and the police, which prevented team members and spectators from accessing the venue on Friday and Saturday.
In fact, the authorities have blocked some access points due to congestion on the island of Notre-Dame.
Among other issues raised is the flooding of certain television reception units and transmission areas during the episode of heavy rain and hail. The VIP parking lots were also transformed into mud pools due to the rain.
To this we must add the bad information transmitted by the STM that Friday’s free practice sessions had been canceled due to rain. Another point of contention: the fans who invaded the track after the end of the race, apparently a recurring theme.
Motorsport clarified that promoter Octane received criticism from the FIA. In particular, it is asked to review the management of access points and improve paddocks and certain infrastructure, among other things.
