  | Teams to test slicks in Jerez Bridgestone will reportedly supply slick tyres for Formula One teams to trial at the upcoming test in Spain. The FIA announced earlier this year that the planned 2008 reintroduction of slicks, which were banned in favour of the current grooves at the end of 1997, would now be delayed. But the Dutch magazine Formule 1 Race Report claims that every team will be given several sets of slicks to try at Jerez early next month, ahead of the likely reintroduction of the tyres in 2009. The publication quotes a BMW Sauber spokesman, and also the concurrence of the Red Bull teams and Honda, as confirming the news. The Jerez-spec slicks will reportedly be based on the slick tyre currently produced by Bridgestone for the GP2 series. It is also reported that tyre-warming blankets will not be allowed in 2008.

| Re: Teams to test slicks in Jerez They never seem to know what they want. The new regulations always come as a result of 5-minute thinking. TC or not, slicks or not etc. etc. If they were a government of a country they would have been removed from power a long time ago... |

| Re: Teams to test slicks in Jerez They should have never banned slicks. They should have never went for the spec ECU, I'll take the TC thank you. Now how about bringing back the inverted wing shaped undertrays to clean the aero so we can have battles like this: ... in the dry. |
