Dec.19 (GMM) Work on a new formula one pit wall at Silverstone, the British grand prix venue, began early this week.
The first phase of the six-week construction process was the destruction of the existing wall, with track bosses explaining that the work is "evidence of Silverstone's commitment to continue to invest in the circuit and its facilities to benefit competitors, teams and fans".
The new wall, designed to withstand impacts of more than 250kmh, will comply with the FIA's latest safety regulations, a statement issued by the circuit explained.
Work on the concrete and steel structure will proceed throughout the Christmas break, and is scheduled to be finished by the end of January.
