Pirelli Says Their 2021 F1 Tyres Will Work The Best

Pirelli's 2020 tyres had not presented the results which the F1 drivers were seeking and were quite disastrous due to several punctures that were witnessed in Silverstone. This unfortunate event had raised questions as to whether the tyres were good enough. Since then, Pirelli has worked on the problem and says that 2021 will see better tyre compounds.

"That’s obviously the target. We don’t want to have any tyre issue anywhere," F1 tyre chief, Mario Isola explains. “Silverstone is a good reference because it’s a circuit with, I believe, the highest severity of the championship. But to quantify it, it’s a bit difficult because we have different tests with our indoor department to assess the level of integrity. So to give you a number is difficult."

According to Isola, it is therefore difficult to design and test the Pirelli F1 2021 tyres in a factory since these tyres will be used on tracks that present different conditions. "We have some tests that are stressing the tyres for hours also and you can see quite a big difference in that. It’s important to understand how to translate indoor testing with the usage on track. Obviously what we try to do is to have different indoor tests that are testing that are replicating what happens on-track. A mirror of what happens on the track, that’s the final target of any indoor test."

Isola does see a big step that Pirelli has made for 2021, compared to 2020. "I saw some numbers what and I can tell you that is a clear step. It is visible. We are not talking about 5% or something like that, that is probably a small number. It is a clear step," concludes Isola.

Mario Isola and Pirelli on the whole believe that the problems which drivers faced in 2020 will no longer be witnessed in the new 2021 f1 season since the tyres have been revamped and made better to suit the tough conditions that F1 lays forward.
