Japanese tyre manufacturer Bridgestone has introduced new tyre marks at Jerez this week to clearly show the fans the difference between the soft and hard compounds supplied to the Formula 1 teams. The tyres in Jerez are marked with a green line at the side of the tyres.
In 2008 the soft compounds were marked with a white line in one of the grooves but as Formula 1 will continue with slicks there won't be any grooves for a white line.
A Bridgestone spokesperson revealed to GPUpdate.net: "We are still checking our options of how to differentiate the two dry tyres but anticipate the final decision to be announced reasonably soon."
