Formula 1 supplier Pirelli says the impact on racing of a potential tyre warmer ban, with it potentially killing off the undercut, will be added factor in the final decision.

    i think the whole tyre discussion is outdated anyway.

    at some point they will realize that all that microplastic is bad for the environment and they will ban tyres that practically destroy themselves.

    i have been saying already they should switch to a different limiting factor than tyres. Maybe force them to use much bigger batteries that are plug and play. and give them options of different power/weight/amount or something like that.

      Bring back refueling?

        Because they banned it on safety grounds (instead of “Renault 100% used this to cheat” grounds), they boxed themselves into a corner on ever bringing it back — there’s still the risk of occasional fire from a few drops of leaked fuel, even with today’s improved fueling apparatus.

          I don’t know, I’m sure they’d find a way around it if they really wanted to bring refueling back. Honestly, I’d be in favor.
