Tyre Change F1 Safety Phase?
The Federation Internationale de L’Automobile (FIA) wants to reduce the risk of sudden tyre punctures, caused by post collision shrapnel, German media sources are reporting. When fragments of damaged Formula 1 car lie on the track they pose a significant threat to tyres. The suggestion is that after a crash the safety car will collect all the cars into a formation and then bring the drivers to a standstill on a safe part of the course. When the track has been cleaned the race will start again. During this time the teams have the opportunity to examine their tyre for any damage. Tyre changes will be permitted if teams can prove that they are damaged.
