Sochi tweaks track after Sainz crash
Sochi tweaks track after Sainz crash Race organisers have made changes to the Sochi circuit in the wake of Carlos Sainz's huge crash a year ago. Recalling his 2015 practice crash in which the Spaniard's Toro Rosso was buried deep beneath Tec-Pro barriers before he was airlifted to hospital, the 21-year-old said this week: 'I'd say (it was) the biggest crash of my career so far.' F1's governing FIA has confirmed that, ahead of the 2016 Russian grand prix, the run-off just ahead of the Tec-Pro barriers at turn 13 'have been laid with asphalt'. The FIA also said the 'guardrail straight on at T13 has been replaced by wall blocks'.
