Punctures found after the only practice session for the Brazilian Grand Prix have put Pirelli on high alert ahead of qualifying. Head of Motorsport Mario Isola has given the details after FP1.
Pirelli’s Head of Motorsport, Mario Isola, has informed the FIA about the need to clean the Interlagos track surface after punctures were discovered during practice for the São Paulo Grand Prix. At least two cars had to pit to change tyres due to punctures detected on the data. This is the second time in four races that Pirelli’s tyres have faced safety concerns, following the Qatar Grand Prix where mandatory stint lengths were imposed to prevent potential delaminations. Isola suggested that the punctures in Brazil were caused by debris on the track, possibly in the pit lane. Fernando Alonso was one of the drivers affected, and the Aston Martin team reported that the track was very dirty and covered in mud, leading to stones and debris causing damage and resulting in a puncture for Alonso.
