Unveiling the Unseen: Pirelli Uncovers a Rare Tyre Issue in Anticipation of the Thrilling Las Vegas GP

P1racenews AI automatic summary:


The softest set of tyres in the Pirelli range is set to be used in Las Vegas, with cold temperatures and an unusual problem some of the challenges awaiting teams and drivers.

Pirelli believes that the Las Vegas Grand Prix will present a major technical challenge due to the lack of prior running at the track and the fact that the Strip will remain open to the public during the day. The track features a 1.1-mile stretch on the famous Las Vegas Strip, with new asphalt laid in certain areas and drivers having to navigate a combination of street surfaces. The cold temperatures in Nevada, coupled with long straights, will make it difficult for the tires to warm up. To mitigate this, Pirelli will provide the softest tires in their range. The track being open to the public will also affect rubbering in and the improved grip typically seen at other circuits. The selected tire compounds for the race are C3, C4, and C5 with minimum tire pressures of 27 psi at the front and 24.5 psi at the back, taking into account the expected low temperatures and track layout.
