    Why Pirelli is keeping faith with ‘difficult’ C6 F1 tyre – but admits it needs to be faster

    Pirelli Sticks with Controversial C6 F1 Tyre Despite Need for Speed

    Pirelli is standing by its decision to retain the contentious C6 tyre in Formula 1, despite acknowledging that it has not fully delivered on its promise of improved performance. Initially introduced during the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix last month, the C6 is intended to be the go-to qualifying tyre for teams. However, Pirelli’s Motorsport Director, Mario Isola, admits the compound needs to be faster to bridge the gap with its predecessor, the C5.

    Why Pirelli is Keeping Faith with ‘Difficult’ C6 F1 Tyre

    Pirelli has faced mixed reviews regarding the new C6 tyre, which has become a focal point of discussion in the paddock. While teams had hoped the C6 would pave the way for more dynamic racing strategies, many have found it less forgiving than expected, undermining its intended role.

    Mixed Reactions from Teams

    Isola noted that while the C6 performed capably in qualifying, not all teams were able to unlock its potential. Some drivers even expressed a preference for the more familiar C5 during qualifiers, which provided them with greater confidence. This led to a surprising trend where teams opted for the C5 in qualifying at both Imola and Montreal, impacting race strategies.

    Shifting Strategies

    The introduction of the C6 was designed to encourage teams to shift towards two-stop strategies, given that the C5 had seldom lasted long in previous races. However, since the C6’s introduction, many races have turned processional, with drivers managing tyre performance rather than racing aggressively. This has led to a paradox where teams reverting to the C5 have created a more varied race landscape.

    Looking Ahead: Modifications in Mind

    Pirelli acknowledges the need for modifications to the C6 as it continues to gather feedback from teams and drivers. Notably, Isola mentioned that the C6 must become more decisive—ideally faster by at least half a second compared to the C5. The aim is to achieve a clearer differentiation between strategies, making one-stop races less appealing while still maintaining a manageable level of degradation.

    Moving Forward

    As Pirelli explores future tyre selections for the upcoming races, including speculation about Singapore, Isola stated that they are reconsidering the C6’s introduction based on its performance in demanding conditions. Despite the challenges the C6 has presented, Pirelli remains optimistic and committed to refining its offerings to enhance the competitive spirit of F1.

    In conclusion, while the C6 tyre has faced scrutiny, Pirelli’s continued investment in its development is aimed at achieving a balance of performance and strategy that resonates with teams and fans alike.
