Red Yyre Rule In F1
« on: December 06, 2006, 07:09:41 PM »
Tyre manufacturer Bridgestone would welcome the introduction of a 'red tyre rule' in Formula One if it makes the sport more exciting, technical manager Hisao Suganuma has said.

"If the FIA decided to mark different colours, we will consider [adopting the rule] as we are happy to cooperate… if it makes F1 more interesting," Suganuma told Autosport.

However, it would not be an easy rule to introduce, he admitted.

"Taking account of the production of such tyres, we need to think. For example, in Champ Car softer tyres have the red mark on the sidewall.

"Maybe we would have some difficulty because the softer tyre on a circuit may be the harder tyre on another circuit, which means we need to have all the different specifications in double colours – one with a standard sidewall and the other with a coloured sidewall.

"That makes it more difficult. If we need to do that we should think about the best way to do it."

Ultimately the decision would lie with the governing body, Suganuma added.

"In theory we can do it, but it is the discussion between the FIA and the Bridgestone teams. If F1 requires us to consider it we will cooperate."
