F1 boss says chicane issues will be looked at

"Chicanes are part of motorsport and it's up to drivers not to run into each other," he said. "They [F1 drivers] are supposed to be the best drivers in the world, yet amateur drivers manage to get through the chicanes at Monza in races every week."

However, Mosley acknowledged that chicanes can contribute to cars bunching up and said it might be necessary to consider changes to the Monza layout.

"We have kept the question of chicanes under close scrutiny for some years now," he said, "and we will look at the issues again.

"Of course, this might cause political problems with the environmentalists, as I suspect that further major changes at Monza would involve cutting down more trees," he added. "In 1994, when the track was updated previously, only 200 trees were felled and, to compensate for that, the circuit planted another 5000 elsewhere in the park. So it should not be a major problem."
