McLaren: Pirelli test fears allayed after Monza
McLaren team boss Andrea Stella praised Formula 1’s Alternate Tyre Allocation (ATA) system, which reduces the number of tires brought to a race weekend. The system was used in Hungary and Italy. Although some drivers criticized the format for the lack of track time, Stella believes it has been a positive addition to F1. He mentioned that people may not have even realized it was an ATA event, which shows that it offers both car running and spectacle while reducing the number of tires. Pirelli’s Head of F1, Mario Isola, also expressed optimism for the future of the ATA, stating that with some fine-tuning, it could work effectively. The hope is that this system can save nearly 3,500 tires across a full season, reducing manufacturing, transportation, and disposal needs.
