Pirelli will begin investigating a new Formula 1 tyre concept for 2025 that reduces degradation to improve the on-track racing, while still allowing for varied pitstop strategies.
After Pirelli designed new 23-inch tyres for the initial switch to ground effect cars last season, subsequent aerodynamic development from teams has led to complaints about how easily the tyres now overheat from the altered airflow. While F1 has desired multiple pitstops to create divergent strategies, and this means that the tyre must markedly degrade, drivers have increasingly spoken out against the high wear that prevents them from pushing throughout a stint.

He continued: 'What we want to understand is how we modify the action on track and reduce the degradation. This is something we can do.
