Baku's Turn 8 tweaked
The FIA have made a modification to Turn 8 at the Baku circuit, shortening the line of the inside kerb and replacing it with a painted version. The drivers were unhappy in the wake of Friday's practices, which saw a big crash for Sergio Perez while Jolyon Palmer also binned his Renault at the same corner. Having listened to the drivers' concerns, the FIA have altered the inside kerb overnight.
