Drivers Pirelli
Formula 1 drivers say their concerns about Pirelli's 2021 tyres go beyond them just being slower, as debate rages about whether the championship should stick with the current rubber. Formula 1's field of drivers will get a taste of Pirelli's final 2021 C3 compound during free practice in Bahrain on Friday. Formula 1 has extended current tyre specifications into 2021 as a cost-cutting measure for teams in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

History[change | change source]
Drivers Proliant Dl380p Gen8
Pirelli was founded 1872 in Milan by Giovanni Battista Pirelli. Pirelli initially worked in rubber and related processes. The company used to make scuba diving rebreathers (a special type of underwater breathing machine).[2] Pirelli's activities are still focused on the building of tyres and cables (for energy and telecommunications). In 2005, Pirelli sold its cable division to Goldman Sachs, which changed the new group's name to Prysmian.
In the 1950s, Alberto Pirelli had the famous Milanese skyscraper built. It is in the same area as the first Pirelli factory in the 19th century.[3]
In 1974, Pirelli invented the wide radial tyre. This was at the request from the Lancia rally racing team. They needed a tyre strong enough for their new Stratos.
Later, Porsche started using the same tyres with the Porsche 911 Turbo.[4]
Today, the wide tyres are still the standard in sport & racing cars.

Since 2007, Pirelli is the only tyre brand used in the FIMWorld Superbike Championship. The tyres are also used in the support classes.
Pirelli has the contract for the control tyre supply in the British Superbike Championship. This contract started in 2008 and will last until 2010 at least.[5]
Pirelli is the official tyre supplier of the World Rally Championship. They replaced BF Goodrich for the 2008 season.
Formula One[change | change source]
Pirelli competed in Formula One in three distinct periods. The first time was between 1950 and 1958. The second time was between 1981 and 1986. The third time was between 1989 and 1991. They started 200 Grands Prix races, and won 44 of them.
Pirelli will return to the sport in 2011 as the sole tyre supplier. Bridgestone decided to withdraw as the supplier at the end of 2010.[6][7][8]
To test the new F1 tyre, Pirelli signed Nick Heidfeld. A 2009 version of a Toyota Racing chassis is being used to test the tyres. The testing is taking place during the second half of the 2010 season.[9] In September 2010, Heidfeld was signed by Sauber to race the remainder of the season. Pirelli then hired former GP2 and Renault F1 driver Romain Grosjean to test for them.

Pirelli have insisted they do take on board the views of drivers when manufacturing their F1 tyres – after Lewis Hamilton suggested they don’t.
Tyres, along with Mercedes’ dominance, have become an even greater feature of the 2020 season, with teams having to manage their rubber carefully to avoid punctures such as those that littered the closing stages of the British Grand Prix.
After his recent Spanish Grand Prix victory, Hamilton had said “we really need to put a lot of pressure on Pirelli for the future” and that drivers had not in the past been “part of the discussion” in helping F1’s sole tyre provider to supply teams with the best possible product.
But Pirelli boss Mario Isola has refuted any implication that drivers are ignored in the process and stressed that their opinions will, in particular, contribute towards the 2022 tyres which he hopes prove to be “ideal”.
“We listen to the drivers,” said Isola, quoted by Motorsport.com. “I don’t want to give the message or to hear this message that we don’t listen to the drivers because every time the drivers are available, we are always available, and I’m talking not just for Pirelli but also for the FIA.
“We are very happy to follow what Lewis is asking for, but then we need to put first on paper, and then in reality, something that has to be a compromise.
“We cannot have 100% grip and 100% consistency and no degradation and all of that.”

Isola stressed that finding the right balance between the various factors outlined in the target letter that Pirelli has to follow – including the desire to have multiple pit-stops – is a major challenge.
“We had a lot of discussions about the target letter that was initially for 2021, for the 18-inch tyres, and that is now for 2022,” he said.
“We have a number of versions of the target letter, you cannot imagine, because any discussion was introducing something new. Drivers have been involved in the discussion.
“Also, in the latest version of the target letter, we decided to review it again in order to list the targets, giving priority to what the drivers feel, and have priorities like reducing overheating for example, reducing degradation.
“We had a lot of discussion about that because if you reduce degradation, there is no reason to have more than one stop. Basically, if you don’t have degradation for the tyre, why should you lose time to stop once more, and maybe lose position on track?
“So we had this discussion, the possibility to have a tyre that after a certain mileage degrades quicker. There are a lot of subjects in the target letter obviously, some of them difficult to achieve all together.

“So I know drivers like the grip, I know drivers are asking for an ideal tyre. That is our effort and plan for 2022. For 2021, it’s difficult because we don’t have any option to upgrade the product. So we will focus on that for 2022.”
