Formula 1 decided to prohibition of use tire heaters postponed for two seasons. It means teams will have to without heaters find only in season 2023 and not 2021 as originally planned. These are responsible for Formula 1 definitively confirmed on Thursday, as part of the racing weekend US GPwhen they presented new rules of the year 2021. The postponement of the ban on tire heaters has been reported in the media before.
Mario isola, sports boss Pirelli, supported this decision. The Italian said: “We have a lot of changes in 2021, so this is a good approach and tire heaters will be allowed for this transitional period.“Because in season 2021 occurs new technical regulations, which puts Pirelli 's engineers ahead of many challenges. They will be on one side race cars heavier, and on the other the manufacturer Pirelli brings brand new ones 18 inch tireswho need significantly higher pressure as the current generation of tires.
Because these are challenges for Pirelli because of these factors even more extensive, it is very useful for them to be able to stay in the introductory phase rubber heaters, which will definitely make their job easier. “If the heaters were to be removed, this means that the tire should operate in a window between 20 and 130 degrees Celsius,”He says Island. The development of these tires for Pirelli represents difficult task. Because Italians can new tire construction with Formula 1 race cars on the track they test only at certain points. Last but not least Pirelli he doesn't have his own current race car, which could be used for test purposes.
V Formulas 2 testing is easier. Because Pirelli will already be in next season supplied to this series 18 inch tires, and in agreement with the promoter, they were also able to do so more testing. Formula 2 will not use tire heaters, but the lessons learned from this series They won't help Pirellito prepare tires without heaters for Formula 1. “The energy of a Formula 2 car that is transferred to the tires is lower,He added Island.
