Pit Floor paint

Post

Just wondering.

Who paints the floor in the pits? I assume the teams either do it or it is done by the circuit shortly before the teams arrive to start setting up.

I know that McLaren used to tile their pits but now don't.

I don't know who does it but most of them are painted with a two part paint. Silverstone and Brnds are deadly. I personally have gone over on spilt fuel and seen someone go flying on a tiny bit of spilt water.
