In 2008, the tyre regulations stipulate that the two dry tyre specifications must be visibly distinguishable from each other. At the Brazil Grand Prix, the soft compound Bridgestone Potenza tyre was marked with a white line in the second from inside groove. The extreme wet weather tyre was also marked with a white line.
