F1 next year plan to restore the use of fetal head Singapore Night Special tire tournament mark

F1 starting next year plans to re-introduction of fetal head. Last year's Jerez test in December, Bridgestone Corporation to provide each team a number of sets of experimental products in the early test. Although most of the drivers expressed satisfaction after the test, but also exposed some problems.

To Red Bull driver David - David Coulthard led by a few drivers that: As the fetal head in exchange for not heating the blanket will just lead to a new birth, fetal temperature in the low-temperature state car, returned to the game Road on track and after the tire has reached operating temperature of the car between the huge speed difference (it is estimated that more than a few seconds), it is very dangerous.

"I am very concerned about the race between the tire temperature differences, especially in the qualifying race." Coulthard in last year's "motor sport," said the interview, "I and a lot of drivers talk about the matter, they All hold the same view: there is no heating blanket, when a pit stop after the return to racing on the track and the track is in a state of high-speed racing meet is quite alarming. (Because) the two vehicles The gap between the speed will be very large. "Coulthard to the analysis.

Based on the above concerns, Bridgestone said they will tire of the targeted formulation to improve in order to solve the problem of slow warm-up tires. "Now we are considering the range formula." Bridgestone Motorsport Director of the development of the island Bang Yu Ying said.

According to the plan, Bridgestone will be the first quarter of this year's test, the team provided three different formulations of the fetal head for the team to continue testing. That is, on April 14 to 17 at the Barcelona test. "We want to solve our problem of child warm. Because in the winter testing period, we have the problems that many drivers have complained about."

"At that time, there are two problems, first, the process is too slow warm-child, is the second child before and after birth rate of uneven heating. As the child after the warm-up to faster, so there will be two to three times, after the child has been very Hot, and cold or before birth. When the child has begun after the apparent degradation, the former child began to show signs of that. This car is very difficult to drive. "Bang Yu Ying Island in detail the problems last year.

So far, F1 next year will bring a real fetal head is still no conclusion. Bang Yu Ying-do imply, however, if implemented, they will be as they are now, throughout the season for the team to provide four different formulations of the fetal head. In addition, this year there is a night game (Singapore Grand Prix), Bridgestone plans will be marked distinguished formula of the way, from the current white line changed to yellow fluorescence, so as to achieve better visual effects. At present, fluorescent yellow in our lives with the very common.
