Several formula one teams tested the use of brake lights at the Bahrain test last week.
Sources report that runners for Super Aguri, Toyota, McLaren, Renault and Ferrari – and possibly others – trialled the innovation at the Sakhir circuit. The news is sure to spark speculation that the governing body could implement brake lights on the grounds of safety.
Further information is not available at this time, but it is clear that the single rain light below the rear wing glowed red when the drivers braked into corners.
