F1 to get red tires :)
This is great news, now we will be able to see just who is running on what!
You read it here first - Red Tyres
Mandatory tyre changes
Jan.15 (GMM) F1 will introduce the so-called 'red rule' to coincide with the beginning of the sport's sole tyre supplier era, we have learned.
It is understood that, in order to enhance Bridgestone's visibility after the withdrawal of Michelin, and to spice up the action for spectators, running two distinct tyre compounds - a 'hard' and a 'soft' - during every race will be mandatory for drivers.
Bridgestone pioneered the idea, involving the colouration of red tyre-walls to differentiate the softer tyre, in Champ Car.
It is understood that all eleven teams and the FIA have agreed to implement the rule for 2007.
