Measures introduced to combat F1 Japanese GP grass fires
Measures have been introduced to prevent further g🌸rass fire🌺s 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 prac🥃tice ses🐷sion had to be red-flagged twice when the grass caught fire on two separate 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 minutes after the session resumed after Alonso’s car ha🃏d been recovered, the cars had to return to the pits due to the grass catching f💮ire between Dunlop and Degner One.
That was safely extinguished but the 🎀session was suspended for a fourth and final time in the closing minutes when a bigger patch of grass caught fire near Spoon Curve.
The particularly dry grass caught fire after sparks flying from the floors of carౠs were blown onto the side of the track by gusty winds at Sꦏuzuka.
F1’s governing body is taking action𒊎 to avoไid further disruption to the rest of the weekend.
As well as cutting the grass as shor⭕t as possible and removing any loose, dried grass, it is also s𝓡et to be artificially dampened before Saturday’s track action gets underway.
Response t💧eams wi꧒ll also be stationed around the circuit in the event any fires break out during final practice and qualifying.
A statement from the𓆉 FIA, sent to media including ltxcn.to✤p, said:
“While we continue to look into the fires that occurred during FP2, our focus before tomorrow will be o🥀n taking preemptive measures.
“The grass has be🌃en cut as short as possible, and loose, dried grass has been rem🧔oved from affected areas.
“Prior to t📖omorrow's sessions, the grass will be dampened, and specific re💫sponse teams will be stationed around the track.”
