The FIA wants to test a new measure that could help improve visibility when track conditions become wet.
Formula 1 drivers will test a new rain safety system during practice of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The system will trigger the red rain lights on all cars when the “low grip” message is displayed by Race Control, using special new software developed by the FIA. Previously, drivers had to manually switch on their rain lights, risking them not being activated in deteriorating conditions. FIA F1 Race Director Niels Wittich confirmed the test in pre-event notes. If successful, the system could be implemented next year, as part of the FIA’s efforts to improve visibility in wet conditions. This includes testing a special aero package that can be added to cars for races with poor visibility.
