The FIA is reportedly considering changes to the design of brake ducts on Formula 1 cars after concerns were raised over the risk to the health of drivers.
Brake dust has long been something that drivers have had to deal with, but the issue seems to have worsened with the new design of the 2022 cars. It was highlighted at the Austrian Grand Prix, as Sebastian Vettel got out of his Aston Martin with black carbon spattered all over his face.
The German is leading the calls for the problem to be looked at over concerns about the long-term health of drivers. "To be honest with you, that is something they need to work on because the design of the brake ducts this year, with the front axle, it is blowing all the brake dust into our faces and it is not good," he said.
