If driving while talking on a mobile phone is dangerous, how much more deadly would it be if Formula One racers got distracted while race officials tried to communicate with them via headsets?
However, in F1’s upcoming first-ever night race, traditional colored flags might be a little hard to see, despite the nearly 1,500 Philips lighting projectors illuminating the track with light four times brighter than a football stadium at night.
As such, 35 display panels using Digiflag technology will be set up to allow race officials to communicate with the drivers. These simple but effective devices are essentially rectangular boards of colored lights.
The night race takes place September 28 in Singapore.
