Push without having to think about the degradation and therefore the saving of tires: the Pirelli has pursued this goal in making the 18-inch tires that will debut in 2022 in F1 with a year delay compared to what was estimated in line with the shift to 2022 also of the technical revolution based on the ground effect. In the last decade, treating the tires with gloves has been fundamental for the drivers, to the point that there has often been talk of a ‘taxi drivers’ formula, between tires to be saved and restricted gasoline.
This will no longer be the case next season, as confirmed by Pirelli’s CEO Marco Tronchetti Provera on the sidelines of the presentation of the Pirelli 2022 Calendar to the microphones of Sky: “With the 18-inch tires the riders will have more fun, these new tires will allow them to drive more freely. It is a product closer to road products, in size. For us it is an important challenge, the judgments for now have been positive, I hope they give them the opportunity to have fun and have fun “.
The CEO of the house of the long P also commented on the arm wrestling between Max Verstappen and Lewis Hamilton who is igniting this 2021: “They are two champions representing two different generations, a great Hamilton proves that with his quality he can compete with the energy of a young man like Verstappen”.
