Rosberg claims Pirelli ‘warned’ F1 about potential tyre issues “six months ago”
Emergency safety measures were implemented in the F1 race in Qatar after Pirelli raised concerns about tyre safety. This included altering track limits and adding a practice session. For the race, drivers were limited to one set of tyres for a maximum of 18 laps, requiring multiple pit stops. Nico Rosberg revealed that Pirelli had warned about the issue six months ago, but F1 did not listen. Teams and drivers were frustrated by the situation, as tyre failures had already occurred in the past and the regulations were changing throughout the weekend.
