Lewis Hamilton feels Pirelli’s wet tyres are not “speculator” as Pierre Gasly delivers a key warning.
Lewis Hamilton criticized Pirelli’s wet weather tyres as “not spectacular” while Pierre Gasly issued a warning about the challenging conditions expected at the Canadian GP. The upcoming Montréal race is anticipated to be wet, giving drivers their first taste of the new 2026 cars in such weather. Hamilton, having tested Pirelli wet tyres at Fiorano in April, suggests starting on full wets due to the unique circumstances. With low temperatures and a low-energy circuit layout, drivers are likely to struggle to maintain tyre temperature. Gasly raised concerns about a potential “elimination game” scenario due to the challenging conditions, hinting at a tumultuous race ahead. The Alpine driver emphasized the importance of finishing the race and hinted at the likelihood of difficult conditions. Gasly humorously mentioned leaving it to others to test the intermediate tyres.
