FIA confirm major tyre safety issue leads to Qatar GP changes

Following the first day of running at the Qatar Grand Prix, major tyre issues were detected, leading to changes for the rest of the weekend. Pirelli’s analysis found separation in the sidewalls of many tyres, caused by the aggressive kerbs at the circuit. The FIA and Pirelli believe that additional laps on these tyres could result in further damage and air loss. Measures have been taken, including revising track limits and a familiarisation session for drivers. Further analysis will be done after the Sprint race to determine if additional measures are needed. Pirelli and the FIA will conduct research to understand the issue and find solutions for the future.
