I’m not sure but i think they don’t use all the colors anymore. You are right that there used to be orange and even pink tires but I believe that how it works now is that for any given track the compounds chosen will be labeled white for hard, yellow for medium, and red for soft. Basically you could have a track that uses C2, C3, and C4 and another track that uses C1, C2, and C3 and in this case it would be something like this. Track 1 has C2 as white, C3 as yellow, C4 as red. While track 2 has C1 as white C2 as yellow and C3 as red. I do wish the old rainbow tires came back though, I think it’s more fun to know more precisely what types of tires each team uses.
Why hasn’t Pirelli developed a tyre that can last an entire race when other makers have done so? As its the sole tyre provider in F1 it doesn’t make financial sense introducing such a tyre I guess.
Thanks for the explanation! They never really go in deep on tyres when watching it on TV. Another question (potentially silly): should it not be „Dries“ and not „Drys“. English is not my main language and I thought Y in singular gets to IE in plural?
@@IgnitionP google search: "If a singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a consonant, you usually change the ending to -ies to make the noun plural. If the singular noun ends in -y and the letter before the -y is a vowel, simply add an -s to make it plural"
Great explanation, though the mixed use of imperial and metric is very confusing.
The qualifying rule for top 10 no longer exists
Great job on this one.
The only thing you may wanna change is that C1 tyres are orange (hard) while C5 tyres are purple (ultrasoft)

You are correct: hard and ultrasoft got removed

How come with all the knowhow that Pirellityres never win consumertests. These are always Continental, Michelin and Goodyear
Bravo 👏
great video

Drys are plural for the noun “dry”, whilst “dries” is a verb. (She dries her clothes every evening)

Perfect explanation of all details and rules!
