Meanwhile, there are teams their critiques in view of these new tires raised to a whole new level. They want to to prevent, yes tires of the year 2020 are not introduced at all and instead stays on this year’s version. But they will continue to analyze data from Friday’s practice, both from team circles. Then they want to together with Pirelli to make a decisionhow to proceed. “We will certainly not vote for new tires if they do not achieve their explicit goals,He said Mattia binotto, boss of the Ferrari team. His colleague at Red Bull, Christian Horner so he adds: “If the 2020 tires don’t get better, then we’ll stick to what we have."
Otmar Szafnauer, the head of the Racing Point team, is even convinced that Formula 1 will also be in season 2020 raced on the tires of the year 2019. “This is the most likely scenario. Because the construction of the year 2020 did not keep what was promised to us. Swapping would be risky, which is why I believe we have no other choice at all and to stick to what we have.“Actually the rules of Formula 1 providethat must be up to 15. September all clear about the tires that will be used next season. “Last but not least, tires have a huge impact on race car design. You can't just come and change as you want,”He explained Saffron, for which it is clear that they must decision accepted now. Team boss Racing Point also knows what this decision should be: away from the tires of the year 2020 and a return to the years 2019. "Even the teams that were originally in favor of changing tires are now strictly against it."
Pirelli was already faced with criticism from the teams in the evening after training. And what do Italians say about this if the 2020 tires aren’t going to be used at all? Mario isola, Pirelli’s boss said: “Nothing is impossible. However, it is very unusual, because at the beginning of the season there was a lot of criticism of this year's tires, which is why we invested a lot in the development of new tires, and we achieved positive results. If we really want to go back to this year’s tires because the new ones are so negative, then we need to understand why this is so. Otherwise, it’s a never-ending story and we never make progress."
Maybe all together not so bad, Isola thinks and questions test of new tires in Austin. "The track was very cold, and the race cars were developed for current tires, and the new ones did not drive long distances. The new 2020 tires are mainly designed to reduce overheating and allow constant driving over long distances. But you can't check that in five rounds. I am sure we will have a more representative test after the end of the season in Abu Dhabi. There we will have time to set the race cars to a new tire profile."
