Revving Up the Conversation: Pirelli Seeks Dialogue with FIA over Wet F1 Issues in Japan

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


Pirelli intends to hold discussions with the FIA and Formula 1 teams over the rule that contributed to limited running

“The arrival of precipitation before FP2 resulted in limited running on the track until the final stages when slicks could be used. Teams initially avoided sending drivers out due to conditions, but it was later revealed that a specific rule on tyre compounds played a part. Lewis Hamilton expressed disappointment over the situation and mentioned a change in regulations that impacted the laps completed. The rule change for 2024 increased wet weather compounds available but eliminated the provision for a free set of Wet tyres. Teams refrained from running to conserve rubber for potential rain later in the weekend, leading to discussions between Pirelli and other parties involved in the rule tweak. Suggestions have been made to encourage more running, with drivers like George Russell emphasizing the need for common sense and fan engagement.”
