Pirelli accepts it will “have to design a tyre with a different level of degradation” in the coming years of
Pirelli has secured the three-year F1 tyre supply contract for 2025-2027, beating out Bridgestone, and is now focusing on determining what type of tyre should be provided from 2025 onwards. The Italian manufacturer’s Motorsport Director stated that without high degradation, there would be no reason for a two-stop race, addressing driver complaints about high tyre wear with the current spec rubber. Pirelli has often been required by F1 to deliver high tyre wear to encourage multiple pit stops and varied race strategies, although engineers and drivers are not particularly fond of this approach. Pirelli believes that degradation is what leads to exciting racing, and they will investigate ways to reduce degradation while maintaining a good balance between driver complaints and fan satisfaction for future compounds. The work to strike this balance will begin in the coming weeks through collaboration between F1, the teams, and Pirelli.
