One of the major things to watch in qualifying is the potential for fires to break out on the course. There’s plenty of dry grass around the track and it’s ignited three times across the various practice sessions staged thus far.
The coverage has shown marshals serving as make-shift gardeners as they attempt to water any potential flashpoints and mitigate the risks of further blazes and, hopefully, that prevents any future flashpoints.
