According to a report over at F1-Live that is exactly what they are doing.

It would seem that several of the teams were testing brake lights in Bahrain including Toyota, Super Aguri, McLaren, Renault and Ferrari. It looks like they hook them up to the red rain light.

The speculation seems to be that it may be introduced as a safety measure. Does anyone other than me have the opinion that if you need brake lights on the car in-front of you in an F1 race then perhaps you should not be driving a Formula One car?

What’s it gonna be next? Turn signals?

Maybe a baby on board sign?

Scott got some laps in the car during testing in Bahrain on Saturday but he was the slowest of all 16 drivers there. Toro Rosso says that their three days of testing have been productive but they still have a lot to work out with the car before the first race barely three weeks away.
