Vitaly Petrov has criticised the decision to hold Formula 1’s only in-season test at the Mugello circuit, saying it’s too dangerous for F1 cars.
The Russian driver is however alone in his views, with the majority expressing great pleasure in lapping the high-speed circuit.
“I don’t think we should have come here, It is not safe or wide enough,” he said on Thursday.
“If you lose it, the walls are so close and you will smash into the tyres. It is not for Formula 1 and, if you lost the steering or the tyre pressure dropped or whatever, then it will be a big crash,” added the Caterham driver
Meanwhile Fernando Alonso had an off in his heavily revised F2012 in the morning which caused significant damage to the front-end.
