Pirelli: Communication over track design will avoid Qatar repeat
After discovering cuts in their tires during practice and qualifying in Qatar, Pirelli announced that the cause was the ‘pyramid kerbs’ at the circuit. Safety measures were put in place, including revised track limits and bringing the circuit perimeter closer at certain turns. However, Pirelli’s Head of F1 and Car Racing, Mario Isola, believes that more needs to be done to prevent such incidents in the future. Isola suggests improving communication and involving different stakeholders, such as the motorcycle federation, other tire manufacturers, and track designers, when making changes to the circuit. Pirelli will take the Qatar tires back to Italy for further analysis to better understand the issues encountered.
