Whilst the majority of the drivers and teams have praised the new look Silverstone, one driver, Nick Heidfeld, isn’t so pleased.

The Renault driver criticised the new run-off areas, particularly the area leading onto the start/finish area which almost saw Kamui Kobayashi roll his car as he span and hit a small bump in the grass.

The former-GPDA president called for improvements to the area and others around the track.

“I think it should be and could be done better,” he told ITV on Friday evening. “Actually I assume it’s not the only place around the circuit; I walked the circuit yesterday and to be totally honest with you I was a bit surprised how much there was still being done to the circuit.

“I thought it would have been perfect for a while but it felt like they were just putting the finishing touches on which did surprise me.

“Also, the pit entry to me is too narrow. You arrive there with really, really high speed and then there’s a small kink in it so I don’t really understand.

“I think there are a few small things that could be improved.”

He also blasted the new layout which was introduced last year, but having been a Mercedes test driver during 2010, he had yet to experience the new ‘Arena’ section.

“Do you know why they changed the layout anyway? Why did they not keep the old layout and just build a new [pit building]?

“The old layout was better; this one is not bad but the old one was really nice.”
