Norris called the reason for the blockage at the Melbourne restart

Lando Norris blames Pirelli tires for the second Australian Grand Prix restart with two laps to go. The McLaren driver said the Italian Formula 1 supplier’s tires lacked grip in the cold, leading to a series of incidents at the first corner.

“People who make decisions [о рестарте] have no idea what is happening in the cockpit, – quotes the words of Lando Norris publication Racingnews365. – By then the soft tires had warmed up to +65C, and I can’t describe how little grip they offer. The problem is that on Melbourne pavement tires do not work at such a temperature – they practically do not hold the track.

That’s why you saw everyone blocking the tires in the first corner. Because the tires don’t provide grip, you have to brake too early, which provokes chaos and collisions.

We need tires that can provide more grip. Formula 1 should have tires that are at the level of the leading race series, but at the moment the tires seem terrible.
