Pirelli is pleased with the debut of the new tire design and its performance on difficult tracks…
Mario Isola, Director of Pirelli Motorsport: “First of all, thanks to the amazing audience at Silverstone. 480,000 spectators for the weekend is an impressive record, testifying to the incredible popularity of Formula 1.
In terms of tire performance, the weekend gave interesting answers. The introduction of the new tire design went according to plan, and the first analysis of the data suggests that everything is in line with our expectations. We knew that all three compositions could be used in the race, which was confirmed on the course.
Cooler weather compared to Friday allowed the Soft tires to last longer. But the fact that all three compounds were acceptable for the race allowed the teams to choose the combination of compounds that best suited their cars.
Degradation was lower than expected for all three compounds, despite the fact that this track is one of the toughest for tires. This means that teams have been able to extend their stints without a significant drop in performance.”
