It is understood that Race Director Charlie Whiting has called on race organizers in Singapore to investigate the kerbs at Turn 10, after a number of drivers expressed concern, fearing that the high bumps could damage their cars.
"It is not the best solution," said Renault's Fernando Alonso. "We are worried that if you miss the chicane or miss the line you will have to go over the kerbs, and perhaps damage the chassis or the bottom of the car.
"If you damage one car it is not a problem because you can take the T-car," he continued. "But if you damage two, you go home. This is a concern."
In his blog for Pitpass yesterday, Bob Constanduros first drew attention to the bumps, writing: "They look like a trio of coloured rugby balls, and woe betide anyone who runs over them."
