F1 is to evaluate an all-new development to aid fans during the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa this weekend.
During the Belgian GP, F1 will introduce a new system of car branding to help drivers identify each other more easily. Each team is currently required to display the driver’s race number and name on the car, along with a yellow T-camera for one driver. However, the numbers and names can sometimes be hard to see due to the livery colors. For the Spa weekend, F1 will trial a system where three-letter name abbreviations will be placed around the onboard T-camera. These codes will be the first three letters of the driver’s surname, like VER for Max Verstappen and HAM for Lewis Hamilton. This change follows the 2017 FIA decision to enlarge driver numbers and require driver abbreviation identifiers on each car, a requirement that was later removed.
