F1 to test automatic rain light solution in Abu Dhabi
The FIA has developed new software that automatically triggers the rear red rain lights on Formula 1 cars when track conditions become slippery due to rain. Previously, drivers had to manually activate their rain lights, which posed the risk of them not being switched on in deteriorating conditions. After Friday’s practice session, a short test will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the software changes. The FIA’s aim is to improve visibility for drivers in wet conditions, as the spray generated by the current ground effect cars has been a challenge. Earlier this year, the FIA tested wheel arches to reduce spray but the initial design proved ineffective. Further solutions are being explored to address this issue.
