F1, an idea for safety
FormulaPassion.it can confirm the news given by the Spaniards of SoyMotor: FIA and F1 are thinking of implementing from the Canadian Grand Prix a rear light system that can help drivers anticipate sudden slowdowns of the car ahead.
Specifically, these are purple, blue or yellow lights that will activate based on the energy delivery status of the car.

In this way, those behind can have greater awareness of what is happening to the car ahead, and can make timely decisions in case of a sudden slowdown or a very significant speed difference.
The lights will only turn on when the electric part of the power unit is not delivering maximum energy.
From what is learned, they will also activate if the charge is lower than the previous lap or in case of superclipping.
Purple, blue and yellow lights already from Montreal?
The proposal, welcomed by the drivers, could become operational already from the Canadian Grand Prix on the weekend of May 24. More will be known in the coming days.
The goal is to avoid situations like the one that led to Oliver Bearman’s accident in Suzuka, where he went off track to avoid Franco Colapinto’s Alpine at the last moment: there was a 45 km/h difference between the two.
