Pirelli is flying Formula 1’s Qatar Grand Prix tyres back to its Milan headquarters for further investigation, as focus shifts to the communication failures that triggered last weekend’s problems.
F1’s official tyre supplier was forced to take action along with the FIA after microscopic analysis of tyres used in Qatar revealed a sidewall separation that could have led to failures. Pirelli suspected the problem was caused by the battering that tyres were taking at high loads from the pyramid kerbs that had been installed around the revamped Losail circuit.
com understands that one of the key factors that needs to be better understood by all parties is why, after Pirelli submitted a report to the FIA highlighting kerb problems at the 2021 grand prix being a trigger for punctures, its advice was not heeded.
