Indexed: Fri Mar 07, 2008 @ 11:01:48AM 8 months 4 weeks ago

Official Formula One tyre supplier Bridgestone announced on Friday that they plan to make their extreme wet weather tyres visibly distinguishable from the standard wet rubber for the 2008 season. The move has been introduced at the request of the teams and in consultation with the FIA, the sport's governing body. The extreme wet weather specification will now be marked with a painted white line in the same way the Japanese company marks their softer dry compound at each race.
