F1 News: Honda To Use Ferrari-style Pit System ?

Tuesday, October 14, 2008 - 10:30 AM 

 


Just as Ferrari abandons its unique 'traffic lights' approach to F1 pitstops, rival team Honda has begun testing a near-identical concept at the scene of the Japanese grand prix.

The Brackley based squad does not intend to replace the traditional 'lollipop' system either at Fuji Speedway or elsewhere in 2008.

But Honda, led by the former long time Ferrari technical director Ross Brawn, did trial the system during pitstop practice in the pitlane on Thursday.

It is believed the system, to be further tested over the forthcoming winter period, is being evaluated in view of a possible debut next season.

Meanwhile, it is rumoured in the Fuji paddock that - despite the calamity during Felipe Massa's pitstop in Singapore two weeks ago - Ferrari might reintroduce a tweaked traffic lights system at some point in the future.

It is believed that Honda's new system can only trigger a green light if the fuel hose is removed from the car, irrespective of any manual button controls operated by mechanics.
