With the new system, they will be at FIA further monitor the teams so as not to violate the rules on the minimum tire pressure set by Pirelli as (for some time now) the only tire manufacturer in F1.
The new system comes as part of new rules and applications 18-inch tirescoming in season 2021. The FIA will select the contractor with a call ending on August 30, the selected contractor will be known October 4, and the first prototype of the measuring device will be at Pirelli get their hands on it 15. November, so they can already use the technology on December testing.
The main reason for introducing the standard system is mainly the FIA's access to information on tire pressure and temperature, which makes it necessary standard, and the measurements will be an additional control to the current system by which FIA engineers monitor wear and identify individual tires.
The contract with the selected contractor will be valid until the end of the 2023 season with the possibility of extension for an additional two years. System TPMS it will also communicate the temperature of the rims, the temperature of the air in the tire and in the inner circumference of the wheel as the tire pressure.
According to the FIA requirements, the sensor must not weigh more than 60 grams, must have a lifespan at least 5.000 kilometers, but must also be adapted for use in conditions involving work in a Formula 1 environment.
