Italian GP Committee has just issued an announcement about the addition height of kerbs at Monza circuit. According to them it was deliberately done solely to reduce the risk of accidents.
Kerb is the edge of the barrier circuit is usually in the corner. Although not designed flat with the normal path, the kerbs itself deliberately used over by the drivers for shortening the distance when they want to overtake his opponent.
We know that Monza circuit has a typical low-downforce which allows the drivers race each other with a higher speed, then certainly the threat of accidents is higher.
Well, the fact that now try to anticipate by the committee. By increasing the height of the drivers expected to be more careful when passing on the kerb, as quotted by F1 Live and recorded at F1dv.com, Wednesday (9/9/2009).
Although recently ratified by the FIA this year, implementation of these strategies at Monza circuit was not for the first time. Before this the addition height of Kerb has also been done on the Nurburgring.
