F1 teams admit they are 'nervous' about the strain this weekend's Baku sprint will have on spare parts due to the high risk of damage and the proximity of the race in Miami.
Baku is the first F1 sprint event to be held on a street circuit, and the chances of accidents occurring have been ramped up by the decision to make the sprint a standalone event.
As an extra challenge, the Miami GP takes place the following weekend, which means that teams will have to tackle three street races in nine days, with limited time to get new parts to Florida if they are required. "Because straight after the sprint you have the covers on, and in the morning you have only three, four hours to repair your car if it's heavily damaged.
