Martin Brundle lashed out at Formula 1 chiefs over the plan to ban tyre warmers from the sport.
Currently, teams are allowed to heat tyres to 70 degrees Celsius before they head out on track. But that is already down from the 100 degrees it used to be just a couple of years ago, and the original plan for this season was to knock it down further to 50 degrees, until an unsuccessful test saw that move delayed.
Still, though, the plan is still to completely axe the tyre warmers from next season. Tyre supplier Pirelli is working hard behind the scenes to create new compounds which will heat up quickly without the need for the blankets.
