Russell: Possible F1 ban is ‘borderline dangerous’
George Russell, a GPDA director, wants Formula 1 to explore the use of more sustainable tyre blankets instead of completely banning them. He believes that banning tyre blankets could be dangerous, considering the power and downforce of the cars. F1 has been conducting tests with a tyre that doesn’t require blankets and can heat up quickly before a lap, but teams have delayed the proposal to ban blankets until at least 2025. Russell suggests that F1 should focus on developing a more sustainable tyre blanket instead, as the energy consumption is minimal. He believes that blanket loss may eventually happen, but it is still a few years away from being viable.
