According to British media, FIA is studying the possibility of using plastic alloy that does not stain and has a great technological potential nano.
Last month, British media raised the possibility of Adrian Newey take advantage of a loophole in the regulation of Formula 1 RB10 to coat the plastic with an alloy called Polisyl.
This time, in this Monday (17), the Italian magazine 'Omnicorse' stated that the pilots' helmets visors must contain the same resin for the season 2014.
According to the publication, with the departure of the cars exhaust system is now on the back of fireballs, alloy plastic could help give greater visibility for pilots, seen her not butch nor dirty due to the nano technology coated in the material.
"The International Automobile Federation is investigating the possibility of using the Polisyl based on the manufacture of visors of drivers this year. The material would provide more visibility for pilots, as the new location of the exhaust system can hinder their vision over short distances ", he explained.
The proposal should be discussed by the Strategy Group of Formula 1 during the pre-season test in Bahrain, which starts on 19 of February. The Polisyl is a plastic alloy made of silicon and various carbon chains. The material is resistant to impacts and high temperatures. One of the characteristics of the compound is that it does not accumulate moisture and dirty, which can avoid problems with visibility.
