Mario isola, sports boss Pirelli"The Yas Marina Circuit track is the famous scene of the last race of the season, but the changes on the track will bring a new twist and promise us an exciting end to a tense season. This will be the first time we will face a new configuration, including some areas with new asphalt, but we have been able to rely on simulations and other information in preparing the tire set. Overall, by creating a few faster turns, the track is now faster and allows more chances to overtake. These changes result in higher loads, especially on the front tires. However, we do not expect the behavior of the tires to change significantly, so we chose the softest set of tire blends. After the race, the teams will have the opportunity to test the final specification of the 18-inch tires for the 2022 season, where they will use customized older race cars. For the first time, we will see the final package of new tires with 2022 racing cars at pre-season tests at the end of February next year."
