Before the Grand Prix

Track configuration changes

After the previous Korean Grand Prix, some changes were made on the Yonama track ^[1] . So, the organizers made a new exit from the pit lane ^[1] , previously located in the zone of the outer side of the beginning of the first turn, which created a certain risk of collision of pilots leaving the pit lane with pilots who are directly in the race. To eliminate this danger, the organizers moved the exit from the pit lane to the sector of the route, located immediately after the second turn ^[1] . A similar decision to leave the pit lane was considered by the organizers before the construction of the route, but, for unknown reasons, was later changed.

In addition to the restructuring of the exit from the pit lane, several other changes were made on the highway in Yonama: artificial grass in the exit zones from turns 1, 3, 10, 13 and 15 was replaced by more wear-resistant ^[1] , the edge of the eighth turn apex was reinforced concrete ^[1] , in the apexes of turns 4, 5, 9, 11, 13, and 14, new holes were installed (reinforced road elements with which the outer and inner shoulders are laid out in the areas of the turns of the route), designed to place pilots to cut turns ^[1] .

- By the decision of the Korean Grand Prix stewards, Jules Bianchi was punished by the loss of three starting positions in the race and a personal warning - for interfering with Paul di Resta on a fast lap in qualification ^[7] .
