Racers criticized the new tire version at Silverstone, but Pirelli was pleased with everything…
Simone Berachief engineer: “An interesting day on which we were able to collect a lot of useful information.
During the second practice session, most teams paid special attention to evaluating the performance of the tires over long distances, in some cases running half the race distance on one set. In particular, Nico Hulkenberg completed 25 laps on a set of Hards tyres, including 20 consecutive laps.
After testing prototypes in Barcelona, the new tire design became official at Silverstone. On Friday there were no issues or changes in tire operation. It is worth noting that compared to last year, the lap time has decreased significantly, although the temperature of the track was 15 ° C higher today.
There is a chance of rain tomorrow, especially during the morning sessions, and then the chance of rain decreases. This is another unpredictable element on Saturday, which will be tense no matter what.
