How Pirelli discovered F1’s biggest tyre drama since the 2005 US GP
During the recent practice session, the Michelin runners withdrew from the race, leaving only Bridgestone cars to compete. This is a similar situation as in the past when Pirelli discovered an issue affecting the entire field after conducting their analysis of used tyres. The problem was found in the sidewall of the tyres and could potentially cause air loss if the tyres were to be used for more laps. The FIA and Pirelli decided to adjust the track limits at Turns 12-13, where most of the damage was occurring, and drivers will have to make at least three pit stops in the main race. To accommodate this change, an extra practice session was scheduled before the sprint race.
