F1 drivers told to change driving style amid 2024 tyre safety concerns

F1 w🦹ants to remove tyre warmers from the sport on sustainability grounds but of🦹ficial sign off on the ban is pending further testing and a vote from the teams.
After participating in Pirelli’s most recent tyre test at Barcelona, Mercedes driver 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell warned: “I don’t think we as a sport are at a position to bring these tyr𓂃es into a racing scenario”.
But Russell’s concerns𓃲 have been rejected by Pirelli, who have suggested that drivers will need to adapt their driving styles.🐽
“Obviously drivers need to think about the fact that not using the blankets is💙 different than today, so they need to approach the out-lap in a different way,” Pirelli engi🍬neer Simone Berra said.
“In cold conditions, it could be trickier to bring the tyres up to temperature but it’s just a matter 🔜of doing the first portion of the lap [cautiously].
“In the first sector, generally we can see much more difference compared to other sectors because already sector 2 and 3 are in line with the laptimes 💎with the blankets, so it’s just a matter of managing the first few corners.
“But in terms of safe🔥ty, I don’t see from﷽ the data any specific risk.
“You⛎ need to change the way you are driving in the first lap, you have to adapt the driving style to protect the tyres because you can generate graining if you🎀 push too much in the first corners and the tyres are not up to temperature.
“I respect driver opinion, that’s for sure, but obviously there will👍 be differences compared to the old product and the [current] tyre management.”
