Gutierrez: an old style track layout
Maranello, 23 September –“I have mixed feelings about the Suzuka circuit,” Scuderia Ferrari’s third driver Esteban Gutiérrez tells ferrari.com.
“It’s here that I scored my first points in FormulaOne and so this circuit means a lot to me. It’s made up of a lot of quick corners and it’s extremely technical. It holds so much history and it has a slightly old style configuration, the only track that includes a figure of eight with an underpass and its matching overpass. There are other equally strong but sad feelings because it was here that Jules had the accident that then took him from us. What happened serves as a reminder that our sport is dangerous and that safety measures must always be a priority.”
