F1 braces for unusually rough Sepang track surface

Original: The major unknown as F1 braces for "sandpaper" rough Sepang track https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/the-major-unknown-a

Formula 1 returns to the Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia with teams facing an unexpectedly abrasive, "sandpaper"-like track surface. The rough asphalt is expected to increase tyre degradation and could reshape race strategy, but the major unknown is how the current generation of tyres will cope with the conditions after recent resurfacing or weathering.

Why now: The Malaysian Grand Prix is imminent and the track's unusually rough surface creates uncertainty over tyre wear and strategy.
