F1 drivers told to change driving style amid 2024 tyre safety concerns

F1 wants to remove tyre warmers from the sport on sustainability grounds but o🍰fficial sign off on the ban is pending further testing and a vote from the teams.
After participating in Pirelli’s most recent tyre test at Barcelona, Mercedes driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell warned: “I don’t think we as a sport 💜are at a position to bring these tyres into ♎a racing scenario”.
But Russell’s concerns♔ have been rejected by Pirelli, who have suggested that drivers will need to adapt their driving styles.
“Obviously drivers need to think about the fact that not using the blankets is differe🙈nt than today, so they need to approach the out-lap in a different way,” Pirelli engineer Simone Berra said.
“In cold conditions, it could be trickier to bring the tyres up to temperature but it’s just a𒀰 matter of doing the first portion of the lap [cautiously].
“In the first sector, generally we can see much more diffe🐎rence compared to other sectors because already sector 2 a𒆙nd 3 are in line with the laptimes with the blankets, so it’s just a matter of managing the first few corners.
“But in terms of safety, I don’t see from the data any specific ri🍷sk.
“You need to change the way🃏 you🌺 are driving in the first lap, you have to adapt the driving style to protect the tyres because you can generate graining if you push too much in the first corners and the tyres are not up to temperature.
“I respect driver opinion, that’s for sure, but obviously 💞there will be differences compared to the old product and the [current] tyre management.”
