Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso have played down any concerns regarding the safety of the pit entry at the Baku circuit.
Azerbaijan is preparing to host it’s first ever Grand Prix on Sunday when it hosts the return of the European Grand Prix.
The tight nature of the track has seen some drivers complain about the safety standards, arising factors such as the small run-off areas.
Vettel and Alonso however, reassured there are no issues with the safety on the track and are relishing the challenge Baku has to offer.
“No, actually I don’t understand why this has been the second type of question of the same nature,” Vettel said when asked if there were any concerns about the pit entry.
“I walked the track and I was looking on the track, not so much on the runoffs. I think it looks exciting.
“I’m thrilled to get in the car tomorrow and excited to get out and get a feel. Pit entry looks a challenge – but then again I think that’s why we’re here. And, as I say, I certainly have the plan to stay on track and not use the run-off or the off-track.
Alonso added: “Same. Let’s see in the car, how it is. Similar to Brazil a couple of years ago maybe, and some other pit entries. It was no problem.”
