That was my point, every race theres 2 rolling chicanes.. How would a few more matter? |
Because the front runners are used to Jordan and Minardi dodging, no matter what the track. The Yellow and Black rolling chicanes don't require testing the way a perma chicane does. And doing that just hours before the race would have made things just as dangerous.
If someone were to miss the braking zone for the chicane coming up on another car, you get the possibility for a very, very nasty wreck
Remember what happened to Coulthard at Monaco last year when Sato's engine whited out the water front and Fisichella launched off the back of his McLaren? I'm thinking that same scenario would have been played out at least once during the USGP had that chicane been put there
