Formula 1 chiefs have scrapped a planned rule change for next season after drivers spoke out against it.
Tyre blankets have been a hot topic in recent times. They are used to warm up tyres on cars before they head out onto the track, but there are plans to get rid of them by the 2024 season which have already begun to take effect.
This year teams are permitted to heat tyres to 70 degrees Celsius, which is cooler than what was permitted in 2021. The next stage of the plan was to reduce that figure to 50 degrees next year, but that idea has now been scrapped in the wake of the Pirelli tyre test in Austin last month.
