Mario isola, sports boss Pirelli"The Dutch GP is a new challenge, but thanks to the data of Formula 1 and the teams, we were able to make the decision to set a tire mix that is closely aligned with what can be expected from this exciting new venue. In this new venue, free practice will also be necessary to gather more realistic data and to formulate strategies in terms of race tires. It is certain, however, that the new track will require a lot from the tires, as can be seen from the computer simulations we have already performed. This year we have already raced in Zandvoort at the GT World Challenge race and we also gained some useful information here."
