The current system makes it far easier to understand strategies during the races, since you immediately know where a compound sits in the range of available tyres. Otherwise you'd have to memorize what compounds are available, since a "medium" or "C3" tyre could be either the softest or hardest option of a given circuit.

Got a problem with this analysis, and that is that, as you know, Pirelli has *5* compounds for slicks, not just hard / medium / soft. Your graphic at 3:14 mentions that the 'hard' compound for Austria was the C3, which was supposedly the 'soft' compound at Silverstone (see graphic at 7:53 ) The discussion would have been different had they chosen the C1-C2-C3 range for Austria.

Seems like nobody showed the Hungary hard tires this video

Hard tyres weren't great for Ferrari and Alpine last weekend in Hungary though

Since F1 is finally slowly going away from heating mat's I'm very curious how this will change in the future. Even with a formation lab they will be pretty cold at the start

They should go back to tyre compounds with less deg so drivers can go flat out all race long. Since engines are more fuel efficient now there's no need for refueling.

It depends on the compounds the pick.. been a few races where the hard is no good, Hungry springs to mind.

I'd like for competitors to Pirelli to enter F1. Like Michelin, Good Year, Bridgestone or someone else. Two or tree tyre manufacturers competing in F1.

I wonder if on both fronts the new lower sidewalls of the tyres are a big factor in the reason? Lower side wall means stiffer tyre, not as much lateral movement, not as much compression and expansion under braking and acceleration. Pirelli adjust the tyre compound for this year's ground effect cars maybe still considering the heat all the tyre movement of the past generates. Also Mercedes not fully considering how much less the tyre movement and heat energy would be, therefore designing their car thinking they'd heat up the same as previous regulation, but caught out. Silver lining being they can last longer as stated in the video.

The tires seem alright. The only issue is currently that the medium tire isn't fast enough. Ideally, there should be a .7 to 1.0 second difference in lap time between each compound. What makes tire strategy interesting and the races more action packed is creating differences in relative speeds, and having that difference change throughout a stint and the whole race. For this to work, there tire performance gaps need to be sufficiently large, and the allocation must not allow the teams to run their preferred tire at all times during a weekend.

I've always wondered if multiple compound tyres would be possible. ie a soft compound on the very outside for starts and warm up, turning into a medium and then as the tyres wear even more have a much harder inner compound. This would allow drivers to push the whole time but would give a big advantage to newer tyres. Probably not possible due to production costs I'd imagine though.

Even if the balance between soft/medium/hard is a bit off, it's the same for everybody and we see better racing with more laps that you can really beat on those tyres. I know, the Formula 1 was always trying to create an element of surprise and tension with such regulations (and less durable compounds in the last years) but I personally think, it should be less about struggle and managing it and more about "active battle time" (due to cars that can be driven hard from start to finish).

Thanks Scabs

I guess this refers to possible mislabeling in pirelli's permises!!!!! I noticed in some early race this year (with red bull as I remember) that the medium tires behaviour during the race was so different than those on the parctrice.. that wasn't the case with the rest of the teams.

that mercedes explanation makes sense why we keep hearing lewis say "tires are good" all the time

So now soft tires are quali tire, and mediums and hards are race tires?

Pirelli tyres have an “unexpected” behaviour also in F2!

Let's not forget that the tires used in 2021 were actually a few years old, design wise. It's good to see Pirelli make a nice step with the added development time for this year.

Good video BUT I’m really disappointed that you guys missed the opportunity to discuss how there is actually 5 different compounds of tires meaning one weeks softs could be the next weeks hards…. Why not bring that up??

So this is the video that Ferrari strategists watched before Hungary😅

The Pirelli tyres this season have been the best in years, hopefully this leads to a very close championship

Even with all the madness I still wouldn't change a single bit about how this season is going.

I say we go back to the Goodyears of 1990 where they went the whole race distance.that’ll slow them down.

Question why did the teams use the mediums at the start instead of the softs

What would the difference in time be if they ran last year's tyres?

Silverstone 2022 was so good it should be put on blu ray

I noticed this in the F1 game believe it or not. I was faster than the Ai with mediums vs their softs. Then when I went softs and they had mediums they were faster than me. Even the hards performed well. Interesting….

Love your channel 61, watching from the states. Thanks for the hard work!

I just wish more teams would do like Mclaren and Alfa Romeo and put some design on the rims, rather than just the black. Feel like it would add more to the livery.

One problem is that you are looking on tyres as HARD/MEDIUM/SOFT but you should look and analyze compounds from C1-C5... And a problem is that C1 is not working for anyone, we had 3 racers where we had C1 but in all of those races everyone forbid them as they are not working at all.. Slightly difference is Silverstone but i think they didnt work there either and fastest strategy was 2stop C3/C2/C2 or C2/C3 (like Perez did)... On the other side C5 tyres are so soft that they last 3 laps and then they are so slow.. C2 and C3 are lasting so long and working for everyone and even if in Silverstone you can do 75% of the race on C2 and still be fast then there is something wrong..

They are still not a patch on the Bridgestone that Ferrari had hahahaha

There is a fallacy in this video (and that logic) though: there is no medium tyre. There is no one set of mediums. Just as last year there are multiple compound of the C1 and onward which can be a "medium" option for a given race, and they all have pretty different properties.

Ferrari must've watched your vid before the Hungarian GP.

I feel that starting on red to gain as many positions as you can than switching to white is a better option.

One thing I find misleading / confusing about tire discussions is it insinuates there are only 3 compounds to choose from, when in fact there are 5.

It will be really interesting from a driver skill point of view but I do think we'll lose something from a strategy point of view. I'm hoping to be proven wrong and I expect it'll create a whole new strategy but I've always enjoyed the undercut as a strategy (I guess that's cos of how long I've been watching the sport and back in the day pre DRS it was the only way to overtake)

it will favor the overcut, which means preserving the tyres will be more important.
