Closing speeds at Jeddah approaching 'danger zone' says Hamilton
The Hindu
The new 6.1-km long Jeddah track is set to be the second quickest on the calendar after Italian 'Temple of Speed' Monza
Lewis Hamilton said the difference in speeds between Formula One cars on a flying lap and those running slowly at the new circuit were approaching a "danger zone" after near-misses in Friday's opening practice for the inaugural Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The Briton, who trails Red Bull's Max Verstappen by eight points in the overall standings with two races to go and this weekend is gunning for a third straight win, took avoiding action twice to avoid slower moving cars while on fast laps.
"That's definitely a lot worse than a lot of places we’ve been to," Hamilton, fastest in Friday's two sessions, added.
