anybody up for some tuesday night trivia???

question: WHY, do tire blankets have the text backwards? Crosscheck quality/safety control

https://us.motorsport.com/f1/news/f1-agrees-to-keep-tyre-blankets-for-slicks-in-2024/10501165/

The decision was made at today’s F1 Commission meeting at Spa where the FIA, the F1 organisation and the teams talked through a number of key issues.

Tyre blankets were one of the main items on the agenda. The 2024 rules specify that they are used, and it would have taken a vote and agreement for that to change.

However, as previously reported, the consensus is that while the prototypes demonstrated that they get up to temperature within a few corners of leaving the pits at test venues like Bahrain, Barcelona and Silverstone, teams wanted to see them in action at a wider range of tracks and learn more about how they behave during a transition from intermediates on a damp track.

It has been agreed to revisit the issue ahead of 2025. The complication is that the same season sees the start of a new tyre tender deal, and it’s yet to be confirmed whether it will go to incumbent Pirelli or the returning Bridgestone.

However, it was agreed to introduce blanket-free intermediates in 2024, with wets having already been in use since this year’s Monaco GP.

[[question: WHY, do tire blankets have the text backwards?]]

So that people with blew eyes can read them? (1 eye blew this-a-way, the other eye blew the other way)
