F1 drivers call out “terrible to drive” tyres at Interlagos
The Brazilian Grand Prix was characterized by a clear division between the front-runners and the mid-pack, with Max Verstappen and Lando Norris leading the race. The mid-pack racers had to contend with DRS trains and a lot of lifting and coasting to manage tyre wear and temperatures. Most racers started on soft tyres, but those on the medium compound experienced significant wear. Williams driver Alex Albon complained that the tyres felt terrible to drive and that the hard compound was unusable. He also mentioned that tyre degradation has been a recurring issue in hotter races this season. Lewis Hamilton and Daniel Ricciardo also noted the extreme levels of degradation at the circuit, with Ricciardo blaming the track surface. However, Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc said that tyre issues in hot races have been a consistent challenge in previous seasons.
