Martin Brundle has hammered Formula One 's idea to ban tyre blankets and claimed it "doesn't make sense" - after Lewis Hamilton previously criticised the move.
The grid could see radical changes next season with environmental targets in mind and Pirelli is preparing for the potential ban on tyre blankets, which will greatly reduce tyre temperatures. Drivers have already been left unimpressed by the lowering of the temperature and Brundle maintains that the thinking is flawed.
Colder tyres give off less grip, which is problematic for the drivers and can often lead to crashes. The Sky Sports pundit has highlighted how an increase in collisions due to cold tyres would negate the savings made by ridding of tyre blankets ahead of possible shakeup.
