races at the Ayrton Senna circuit in Goiania since 1989 taking place.<\/p>\n<p>But it was a weekend plagued by track problems, with severe flooding on the build-up to the event giving way to a sinkhole delaying the sprint on Saturday, and asphalt degradation forcing the grand prix distance to be shortened minutes before the start.<\/p>\n<p>A comprehensive investigation was carried out after the Brazilian Grand Prix, with works now beginning to rectify these issues.<\/p>\n<p>A statement from the circuit said work started on Monday, with the venue to be closed for at least a month to allow
