Measures introduced to combat F1 Japanese GP grass fires
Measures have been𝓀 introduced to prevent furth༒er grass fires at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.
The FIA has announced it is taking “preemptive measures” in a bid to prevent further grass fires from breaking out at the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.
Friday’s second practice session had to be red-flag♒ged twice when the grass caught fire on two sepꦜarate occasions.
FP2 was halted four times with the first two red flags caused by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan’s huge crash, and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso beaching his Aston Martin in the gravel.
A few minut✃es after the session resumed after Alonso’s car had been recovered, the cars had to return to the pits due to the grass catching fire between Dunlop and Degner One.
That was safely extinguished but the session was suspended for a fourth and final time in the closin⛎g minutes when a bigger patch of🗹 grass caught fire near Spoon Curve.
The particularly dry grass caught fire aft🎃er sparks flying from the floors of cars were blown onto the side of the track by gusty winds at Suzuka🐬.
F1’s governing body is taking action▨ to avoid further disruption to ⛎the rest of the weekend.
As well as cutting the grass as sho🥀rt as possible and removing any loose, dried grass, it is also set to be artificially dampened before Saturday’s track action gets♋ underway.
Response teams will also be stationed aro💫und the circuit in the event any fires break out during final practice and qual🧜ifying.
A statement from the FIA, seꦯnt to media including ltxcn.top, said:
“While we continue to look into the firಌes that occurred 🐟during FP2, our focus before tomorrow will be on taking preemptive measures.
“The grass has been cut as short as p💫ossible, and loose, dried grass has been removed from affected areas.
“P♐rior to tomorrow's sessions, the grass will be dampened, and specific response teams will be stationed ♓around the track.”
