“The sport has to be very careful that the legislation on blankets does not get ahead of the rate at which we can develop the tyres.” More from Merc's Andrew Shovlin:
While grand prix racing looks set to abandon a push to reduce tyre warming temperatures for next year as a precursor to the blanket ban, there remains every intention to remove the heating aids from the start of 2024.
“The sport has to be very careful that the legislation on blankets does not get ahead of the rate at which we can develop the tyres,” said Shovlin. “And Pirelli’s problem is not a static one. “Pirelli probably could give us one straight away,” added Shovlin. “But that tyre would not lead to good racing. It would not allow the drivers to push as hard, and you would end up with very high tyre pressures and a significant loss of grip.
Shovlin says the challenge Pirelli faces in coping with the extreme performance of F1 cars is far from easy.
