Honda: Visibility in Singapore pitlane could be a problem
22 September 2008The Honda Formula 1 team is slightly worried about the lights in the pitlane. According to Honda's sporting director Ron Meadows, there could be too many shadows making it more difficult to see the details during a wheel change.
"The only potential concern is in the pitlane because the lights are positioned above the pits," Meadows explains. "This means the outside wheels will be in shadow during a pitstop which could make it difficult for the guys with the wheel guns; however this will be the same for all the teams.
Meadows is not worried about the floodlights above the track. He said: "At the time of our visit, the lights had been erected at the beginning and end of the lap and, having seen these, I have no concerns at all about visibility on the racetrack. Rather than using orange visors to brighten their field of vision, the drivers might use slightly tinted ones because the combination of the circuit lights, tail lights on other cars and dashboard lights could prove to be quite dazzling."
