Is my understanding correct that the corner where the car is has now disappeared, and we have Ferradura going straight through that yeallo/black barrier and into the complex as we know it currently?

Or is the existing corner at the bottom left the current Ferradura?

Was researching to confirm, but just found this awesome picture, see for yourself all the changes....

It's still there on the inside

Apart from a couple of corners, most of the old track still exists and is used as service roads.

track administration promised to revamp the paddock and track, it was more cost effective and it was done last year

I'm actually happy that they didn't extend the track. In general track have been put too much into same length nowadays so current Interlagos is more an exception than the norm.

Rouen, the most dangerous piece of tarmac

Was watching a 1992 race and just noticed how darn good looking the Lotus 102D is.

Interesting seeing that Tommy Hilfiger, if it wasn't for Mercedes/Hamilton nowadays I wouldn't have even noticed
