Originally supposed to tire heaters in Formula 1 banned from the season 2021 onwards, ie at the same time as the introduction of the new one comprehensive policy. But as it turns out, over this plan ombudsmen some teams are not exactly enthusiastic and so is the Italian manufacturer Pirelli supposed to look critically at the intent of the umbrella organization FIA. Colleagues from car engine and sport however, they are now reporting that all indications are that they could ban on tire heaters postponed for two years and introduced only years 2023.
Kot main argument for this shift are listed new 18 inch tires, which will also be introduced in 2021 and which for teams and also Pirelli they represent the unknown. A ban on heaters would add further to this equation new factor and that is riskwhich not everyone wants to accept. It will be necessary to wait when and if this ban will be introduced now.
By the way, there are also between the teams proponents of this ban on tire heatersbecause it could make it to the season saved quite a bit of money. Beat Zehnder, team boss Alfa Romeo Racing, in this connection speaks of the average 500.000 euros per year. In addition, by banning these heaters, they are also promising more action on the track.
