Lewis Hamilton has cal𝓀led on Formula 1 to put requirements in place to deliver better tyres which can help improve racing in the future.

Afte🥂r the F1 teams ove🔥rwhelmingly rejected Pirelli’s 2020 tyres and voted to keep last year’s compounds for the upcoming season, the sport is already preparing for all-new 18inch tyres in 2021.

Pirelli has been working closely with F1 management to deliver tyres which improve racing between cars, the prim⛄ary goal of the wider 2021 rules overhaul, but Ham๊ilton has grown frustrated at the unsuccessful earlier efforts.

“Racing is what needs to improve. I think reduce 𓃲aero and give us better tyres. That’s a very, very important line there. We need better ty💦res,” Hamilton said.

“We’ve been talking for years𓃲 and years and years abou✃t tyre degradation, thermal degradation and we’ve sat in the meeting room with Pirelli in Brazil and [they say] that’s the first time we hear about it.

“We’re trying to communicate with them better. The target letter, I don’t know who has written it for this year but they obviously didn’t do a good job for the 2020 tyres. But I hope for 2021 tha🦋t we have a better target and one that they are able to meet.”

F1 teams and drivers are also unhappy with the tyre pressures increasing, with Pirelli insisting it must be enforced as a safety and performance measure. With the 2020 F1 cars finding greater performance from downforce improvemenꦰts, Pirelli is set to up the minimum tyre pressures to ensure its compounds can deal with the additional load.

Hamilton believes t🔯he measure isnℱ’t necessary but is eager to work with Pirelli to deliver better tyres for the future.

“I think on the tyre scenario,🌸 they brought 2020 tyre♔s which were worse. It’s easier for us to go into another season with the same tyres,” he explained.

“The fact that they pump them up more isn’t so great because they were fine last year but they arꦿe definitely way too inflated.

“We always want to make sure that we are working with the best technology and partners moving forwards. We’ve just got to keep on pushing them to try and ไdo better. I think these tyres will be okay for this year.”
