The Evolution of Pirelli’s Wet Tyre: Revolutionizing Performance in F1

P1racenews AI

At racing speeds, one of Pirelli’s blue-sidewalled ‘wet’ tyres can displace a remarkable 85 litres of water per second, although it is rare to see an F1 wet tyre operating at these speeds. The significant spray created by the wet tyres usually leads to red flag situations in races. Pirelli is working on improving the wet tyre’s performance to make it more usable, aiming to bring it closer to the performance of intermediate tyres for the 2026 season. A recent test conducted by Pirelli at Ferrari’s Fiorano circuit focused on validating the wet and intermediate compounds for the upcoming changes in F1 car designs. The goal is to establish a better ‘crossover point’ between wet and intermediate tyres to enhance their performance in changing track conditions. Pirelli’s continuous efforts aim to provide F1 drivers with more reliable and effective wet tyre options for future races.
