Drivers have called for the F1 modification to be implemented as soon as possible if next week's test is a success ⬇️
Formula 1 drivers have welcomed the FIA’s move towards the introduction of wet weather wheel arches via a test at Silverstone next week.Mercedes and McLaren will take part in a test on the national circuit on 13 July with the Wellington Straight to be artificially soaked to allow the FIA to gather data on the arches or “mudguards”.
“Unfortunately what's happened in Spa. I even had a conversation with Esteban [Ocon] on the parade [in Austria], and we had a very similar situation in 2012 Formula Renault two litres, where we both started from the back of the grid in similar conditions. “We can’t see anything in heavy wet weather," said the Canadian."I can remember Japan last year, I can recall many races over the past few years in F1 where you just cannot see anything when you're behind a car.
“Accidents can happen, and they can be really severe accidents. So definitely, if it works, get it on the cars as quickly as possible and hopefully it does work and it's a great solution going forward to wet weather racing.”Lando Norris, who will take part in the Silverstone test, suggested that wet weather visibility is now the biggest safety issue facing the sport.
“It's a shame we had to see such a consequence for people to understand what can happen. I think it's something that needs to be done. I would say it's the biggest safety concern at the minute within F1.
