Heavy wear and flat tires are in Silverston more than anywhere else they shaped the fate of the race. According to the British, it is Pirelli too much in the spotlight lately. In fact, they should be racers and racers. He adds: »It's time to press Pirelli!«
Even the fact that they use last year’s tire model doesn’t lie to him. Even if they did Mercedes and all the other teams agreed, the Briton has a different opinion: “Unfortunately, at the end of last year, they did not develop tires well for this season. So we race with last year’s specification. "
According to Lewis however, it is even worse as these tires will be used for another year as well, as the transition to the 18-inch format has been postponed to the 2022 season due to the pandemic. Hamilton he just hopes that at least in the 2022 season, the tires will be so developed that they will allow for more direct combat and real racing. He summarizes his wishes and performances as follows: »In the past, racers were not part of a development group at tire manufacturers. That is why, at a meeting in Paris last year, I introduced myself as a representative of the racers to help with development. We want to help them set guidelines and goals in the development of 18-inch tires. For 2022, we need a better tire that will have better grip, should provide greater safety and, above all, that we can be closer to the opponent when racing. This will make the races more tense for us and also for the fans. "
In fact, there is British right, as this year the racers are more or less racing to the fullest in qualifying. During the races, however, if we put it that way, they only cruise most of the time, as they struggle with managing tire wear. However, if they catch a racer in front of them, they can follow him at a safe distance, as they lose too much time with a new stop in the pits. If they decide to overtake their opponent, they risk destroying the tires and thus a new mandatory stop.
