Pirelli has been the exclusive tyre supplier to Formula 1 since 2011. Over the past 12 years, the company has evolved significantly in order to meet the changing demands of the sport.

One of the biggest challenges that Pirelli faces is the need to develop tyres that are both safe and competitive. This has been a difficult balance to strike, as tyres that are more durable and safer often tend to be slower. However, Pirelli has made significant progress in recent years, and its tyres are now both safer and more durable than ever before.

Challenges

Pirelli faces is the need to keep up with the rapid pace of technological development in Formula 1. The cars are getting faster and more powerful all the time. Pirelli needs to make sure that its tyres can withstand the increased demands. The company has responded to this challenge by developing new tyre compounds. The construction techniques that are better able to handle the extreme forces of Formula 1 racing.

Pirelli also needs to be able to respond to the changing needs of the teams and drivers. For example, if a particular team is struggling with tyre wear. Pirelli may need to develop a new tyre compound that is more durable. Or, if a particular driver is finding it difficult to get the tyres up to temperature. Pirelli may need to develop a new tyre compound that is more grippy.

Pirelli evolution as Formula 1’s tyre supplier:

In 2013, Pirelli introduced a new tyre construction that was designed to be more resistant to punctures. This was done after a number of high-profile punctures in the previous season.

In 2016, Pirelli introduced a new range of tyres. They were designed to be more durable and less sensitive to temperature changes. This was done to improve the consistency of performance and reduce the risk of tyre failures. In 2020, Pirelli introduced a new range of tyres that were designed to be more sustainable. The tyres are made from a higher proportion of recycled materials, and they have been designed to last longer.
