F1 teams appear unlikely to support the introduction of blanket-free slick tyres in 2024 Full story ⬇️
The last test before the decision is made will be at Silverstone after the British GP, and will involve Red Bull,If the FIA believes that Pirelli has made a strong case the decision will then go to a vote of the teams.
"I don't think it's what the drivers want. But my fear with these things is that when you think you're going to achieve something simplistically that would create better racing, that there will then be a whole lot of effort go into trying to heat tyres very quickly, on out-laps and so on, that could drive a lot more cost in."Everybody has tyre blankets, they do the job.
Williams team principal James Vowles also indicated that the new tyres have yet to be fully proven, while conceding that the Silverstone test would give his team more data. "It’s really hard to know, really hard to be able to answer. I think we have a pretty decent show now. And, yeah, there's all sorts of considerations with the tyres."There's other series that don't have tyre blankets, but there does come a time where that essence of F1, whatever that is, where maybe tyre blankets is part of it that we should keep."
