The impact the tyre warmer ban could have on racing - and the potential of it killing off the undercut - will be an extra factor in the final decision on whether to introduce it in F1
Pirelli has been working to create tyres that do not need pre-heating, with teams and the FIA poised to vote next month on whether or not to go ahead with a tyre warmer ban for 2024.
And chief among them will be whether or not the change of tyres has a negative impact on the racing, as it could limit overtaking and reduce strategy opportunities. "But the show is important and we need also in this analysis to understand what is the impact here, not just in warm-up, but in terms of level of degradation, peak of grip and these kinds of elements.
One of the key characteristics of racing in F1 is the power of the undercut, which is the lap time benefit that a new tyre has over older rubber if a driver goes earlier into the pits.
