Pirelli has confidence that a new range of tyres it plans to introduce to Formula 1 next year will reduce the overheating problems that are hurting the racing.
As F1 teams have fully understood the new ground-effect regulations, they have found ways to increase the downforce and better manipulate outwash to improve their performance. But one of the consequences of this is that it is getting much harder for drivers to follow each other, and that means tyres can overheat quickly if cars start sliding in the dirty air of a rival.
We are testing the new materials also to avoid increasing the weight, because the target is to have the same weight. “The next test is at Suzuka, where we are taking some of these new compounds. We had also another idea that we tested in Barcelona and Jerez about the tread, which also gave us a good indication on the overheating reduction, as it was more consistent.
