    Reducing tyre smoke when locking up?

    I've just been watching a F1 crash compilation. In particular there was one where Grosjean span in the middle of the track. His car was concealed by the smoke generated by the tyres locking up and someone crashed into him. Smoke in general is, of course, very dangerous for following cars as it...
