Measures introduced to combat F1 Japanese GP grass fires
Measures have been introduced to prevent further grass fires at the F1 Jap🅺anese 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-flagged twice when the grass caug🅰ht fire on two separate occasions.
FP2 was halted four times with the first two red flags caused by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Doohan’s huge crash, and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso beaching his Aston Martin in the gravel.
A few minutes after the session resumed after Alonso’s car had been recovered, the cars had to return t♛o the pits due to the grass catching fire between Dunlop and Degner One.
That was safely extinguished but the session was su൲spended 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 cars were blown onto the side of the track by gusty winds🎶 at Suzuka.
F1’s governing body is 🧜taking action to avoid furt🥂her disruption to the rest of the weekend.
As well as cutting the gras🐲s as short as possible and removing any loose, dried grass, it is also set to be artificially dampened before Saturday’s track action gets underway.
Re𓃲sponse teams will also be stationed around the circuit in the event any fires break out during final practice and qualifying.
A statement from the FIA, sent to media in🔥cluding wuqian0821.com, said:
“While we continue to look into the fires that occurred during FP2, our focus before tomorro🦂w will be on taking preemptive measures.
“The grass has been cut as short as possible, and loose, dried grass has beeౠn removed from affected ꧟areas.
“Prior to tomorrow's sessions, the grass will b🐼e dampened, and specific response teams will be stationed around the track.”
