Pirelli’s new C6 tyre has sparked discussion since its recent debut at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, with Formula 1 aiming to offer six dry-weather compounds. However, adjustments may be required for the C6’s performance, particularly in comparison to the previous C5. Pirelli’s Mario Isola emphasized the C6’s benefits but acknowledged that teams are still adapting to its characteristics. Originally intended for qualifying, the C6 has faced challenges, influencing teams to opt for different strategies, including potential one-stop races. Despite initial hiccups, Pirelli continues to fine-tune the C6 in response to driver feedback, seeking a balance between performance and manageability. The quest for a perfect tyre compound balance in Formula 1 persists as teams navigate the complexities of tire strategies in each race.
