What makes me think that this is going to look AWFUL?!
Pirelli are set to introduce more distinctive tyre markings at the Turkish GP, colouring the entire sidewall of their tyres.
This season, Pirelli opted to use different coloured lettering for their compounds, however, there were complaints that they are barely visible.
The Italian manufacturer then added stripes for the Malaysian and Chinese GPs. But, those too have proven to be difficult for TV audiences to make out.
As such, Pirelli will now colour the entire sidewall of their tyres.
"From Turkey you will see a new marking on the tyres," motorsport director Paul Hembery told ITV.
"The colours will be full colours on the sidewall and it will look much more significant the amount of colour we put in so the black can't get in the way when it's spinning.
"It will become far more visible."
