How Pirelli choose tyre compounds for each track
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- Pirelli choose three dry compounds of tyres from the seven different compounds available to bring to each race. But how to they decide which are the best compounds to bring? Here we look at how the track layout, the type of asphalt and the track environment all affect which tyre compounds are best suited to each race.

I love how this is recommended after the British GP 😂
JakandDaxterAddict there are multiple british GPs
@@ploppyjr2373 British as opposed to 70th Anniversary
man... your ability to explain is pure gold. You are the reason I started following f1 for real. Before it was just a form of entertainment since I didn't understand all the complex factors a successful f1 team has to consider.
Thanks for the brilliant content and keep it up, my friend!
he got me into f1 as well
"Complex factors"
Money and sponsors
or just drop 400+ million dollars lol
It's starting to scare me how much this man actually knows. This game is starting to go deep.
Also, thanks for the vids. As someone a year into f1, still lots to know and your knowledge is really fantastic
What's fantastic about your channel is that I always think I know really well about a topic, but you always go one or two degrees deeper that I thought was possible so I keep learning new and intricate stuff each time. Keep it up, you're doing awesome work!
i love how you constantly improve your Voice Over :D its great now :D
Always the best and continues to inspire everybody !!!!!!!!
100% agree
Love your work man, you know everything and for not so many followers I have a lot of respect for you. keep doing this !!
You put so much effort into your videos to make them so knowledgable and relevant! I really hope your channel reaches a much wider demographic. :)
Great job, although small nit pick is that friction is not caused by bonding, it’s inter-molecular forces that do that, bonds are what hold molecules together. Wouldn’t have brought it up except how you mentioned chemistry before and then had a diagram on screen. But still brilliant content as usual
You're right of course - I was careless with my words there. Although some bonding does occur between the rubber and track, which is why rubber is lifted from the tyre. But it's hard to keep the pace of the video to stop to explain the chemistry too much! Tricky to pick the language when you're not going too deep :)
Chain Bear F1 its okay even I have made some mistakes in my life
Chain Bear f1 the fact how you are quick to correct mistakes and you try your best is what makes your content so good. Nobody’s perfect myself included
I was gonna make this exact comment as soon as I heard that
Crisply explained. Neat images and a great voice over. I'm subbing.
Your videos are pure gold
As always, there's something I didn't expect to learn from your explainers video, I wasn't expecting to learn about track surfacing, so thank you for all this educational F1 videos.
okay, i subscribe. Your channel makes me understand F1 races which makes it fun to watch F1
I always thought it was just the quality of the tarmac that decided the tyre choices. Nice informative video. I learned a lot today!
Great video AGAIN. The level of detail is remarkable to watch and listen to.
Amazing work, Chain Bear.
Another fantastic video, I've really learnt a lot from this channel and look forward to each new vid. Keep up the good work!
I think it’s fantastic that you explain things so clearly not only vocally but also the illustrations you use are very informative and intuitive, thanks!! Would love to see a video about suspensions, Chain Bear ftw
Mental how this is in my recommended 3 days after everyone’s tyres popped at silverstone
I'm glued to your videos man! Excellent job 👍
Great vid as always! Could you please answer my question: Why did Pirelli choose the softeste tires possible for Spa? This is a heavely used, permanent track with a lot of high speed corners. Pretty much like Silverstone, maybe even more high speed stuff. The weather is also pretty comparable.
That's a very good question. Naturally I can't tell you Pirelli's personal answer but I can hazard an educated guess. First is that the weather is cooler and the Belgian weekend almost always has rainy period on at least one day of the weekend - more so than Britain. The other is that it has a lower average speed. I don't know about the roughness of the two tracks without further research.
The other thing to bear in mind is that there is a very wide overlap in the Silverstone compounds and the Spa compounds (both share SS and S tyres) so the compound difference isn't TOO dramatic - Pirelli are just guessing where the extremes will be.
It'll be interesting now that Pirelli have more freedom in tyre choices just how different certain compound choices are compared to last year.
All right, that makes sense. The new compounds will bring some very interesting races, I'm curious to see how the tires behave in China, where they skip the SS and go from U to S and M. Thanks for your answer.
Spa probably gives the tyres more respite too - apart from Blanchimont and Eau Rogue, the third and first sectors are essentially flat-out kinks and slow speed corners.
Also worth noting is that the ultra-soft tyres had less longevity at Spa than the super-soft tyres at Silverstone - everyone who started on the US tyres at Spa pit about a third of the way through or earlier, leaving the soft tyres to do two thirds of the race (though the safety car interrupted that). At Silverstone, many drivers managed to make the SS tyres last about half of the race.
Despite Silverstone being higher speed, teams actually run higher downforce there to deal with the likes of Abbey, Farm, Copse, Maggots, Becketts and Stowe. Putting more load on the tyres. Eau Rouge, Radillion and Blanchimont are now pretty much straights leaving Pouhon as the only real high speed corner, so teams run less wing.
Also, although the working ranges have changed for 2018, the soft compound was a low working range tyre in 2017. That's why the Mercedes (which was slower to switch on it's tyres) worked better on the soft than the supersoft.
Such a high rythm ... you have all my respect for your talent
Great video. Gave me a much deeper understanding
Detailed explanation. I do feel teams should decide for themselves what they want to do each race.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
For so long I've wanted to know how tyre choices are made. Now I do. Very informative.👏 You rock mate.
Keep going man, loving your videos!!
for some reason i watch your videos exactly 1 hour after you upload them
YES this is the video I was waiting for, thanks so much dude
I hope your channel grows! keep it up
Oso, what a racing guru you are
Excellent as always! I learned so much
I’d love to see a race on a rubber track similar to the rubber used to pave running tracks.
I love your videos. You keep it very simple and to the point. Looking forward to see more from you in the future
BRILLIANT PRESENTATION as ever!
Watching this video a million times. Love it!
amazing video. Inspiring how you keep making such good content. Keep it up!
This is incredibly informative. ❤️❤️
Liked and subbed, great info, very comprehensive explanations on these sometimes difficult subjects so, well done. Thanks for the bud man. 👍🏼
I enjoy your videos very much, great work.
Nice video man 👌💪
Amazing work
Best channel EVER !!!
Great video..... good supporting facts and short enough to understand 👍
Wouldn't it be better to use harder compounds at low energy tracks, since they require less temperature to work correctly? Softer tyres operate at higher temperatures, and they need to stay high to prevent graining, as we saw this year at Monaco.
nice video, pretty in depth. Didn't know the science behind it, I do now!
I really wish I had money to give to you. You do such a good job it amazes me everytime the breath of your knowledge
Pedro Oliveira with that name we didnt assume u had any anyway ;)
lol
You make formula one now watchable for my very dump friends, thank you. Great contribution to the f1 world. #thumpup
Thanks for subtitles without it I cannot follow ur videos
Is that because English isn't your first language or that I don't speak clearly enough?
Either way I'll always make sure to attach full, accurate subs to my vids!
Chain Bear F1 I' french and I prefer to be sure if I ear the good Word
this is my favorite channel
It would be cool to have 3 dry tyres that are massively different in performance instead of seven lol.
Awesome explanation man!
love the coffee mug mark
Sweet video man
Awesome as always!
Thanks for laying out Tyre compounds for first three races.. I was wondering whether they would skip a tyre like they will in China.. that's really cool.. only plus point to having so many tyre choices..
Wow, that was so helpful. Thank you so much!
Dude your videos are amazing.
Great video again. Why aren't all the compounds available at every race? Why aren't the softest compounds allowed on hot, high speed tracks?
I don't even follow F1 but your videos are so interesting I don't need to to enjoy your videos :D
in 2023, every pirelli “soft tyre” is a one-stop tyre, and the medium and hard tyres are both zero stop tyres. F1 is killing itself
Do endurance series cars use harder tire compounds since they are racing for a longer period of time and it's more about consistency than who finishes the race the fastest?
An excellent summary of tyre degradation. Am subscribed - and ready for ACTION !!! Thanx for the interesting vids. Looking forward to future uploads - and the comments added forthwith All the best. Bye For Now.
Very well explained... thank you.
Thank you very much man! i really wanted to know more about this, thanks
I hated the new rules
I think they should let Bridgestone n Goodyear compete again n let the teams choose their own tyres
It will be more exciting
What u think?
Great video
Amazing vid
Make one about how drivers get to f1
So why were the softest range of tyres chosen for Spa last year? I would have thought that they would've chosen harder compounds because of all the high speed corners and such.
(Great video as usual)
This is great learning.
3:33 Interesting point. I wonder if that'll affect the tire choices at Spain this year because it just resurfaced.
love how its recommended after Baku 2021
what i don't really get is why pirelli doesn't just bring always all compounds and let the drivers choose form all compounds, because in my opinion this would make up a lot more room for strategies and tactics (sorry for my bad english, greetings from germany :D)
BTW: Keep up the good work mate, I really enjoy watching your videos ^^
i think so too, maybe it will come in 2019?
Partly it's that it helps for Pirelli to make an expert judgement call on what tyres are appropriate.
Also it would be incredibly expensive. Pirelli manufacture the and transport the tyres to order so they bring only the tyres requested by teams. These are hundreds of tyres, each Grand Prix. If they had to bring all available compounds they would technically have to bring 13 of each compound for each car so that's 1820 tyres every weekend, 1560 of which won't be used.

Amazing content!
Pleaseee do one about tire pressure!
I hope the Hard and Super Hard get used this season. Blue tyre walls!?! Awesome :D
But they won't
i’ve been waiting for this one!! :)))
Can you go over fuel mixtures and how it affects everything? Like lean mixture saving fuel but how does it affect the engine to use a less efficient mixture in terms of power and wear?
Well explained
Nice job
0:13 that background is trippy
How often and where do you think pirelli would use a non sequential tire selection.
I.e hypersoft ultrasoft soft/medium. I read that pirelli are looking at it to increase the strategy behind tyre choices again leaning towards 2 stop races.
nice video
Love this channel
I would not say that friction is a result of surfaces bonding i.e adhesion?? whats your source?
Excellent video. Could you make some of your resources available?
Resources?
As in any academic/ industrial reports or books you took a look into when writing the script for the video.
this is great!
Nice
Did you work in F1? How did you learn all this yourself? And explaining it so clearly?
as english is not my primary language and i wasnt quite paying attention to the screen when i heard you say 'bitch-you-mean' i was quite suprised. Even had to look on the sreen to see what did she mean? :D
great explanation here though, much appreciated.
hahaha
If only they would name the tyres used at each race simply soft, medium and hard - wherever they are in the 1 to 7 spectrum. Having four varieties of 'soft' tyres is getting silly. If they bring in a softer tyre it will have to be the 'really extra, quite unbelievably soft tyre'.
Could you do a video about certain types of tracks
Thx before that I thought there are doing it with a cube...
You make awesome videos...
What software do you use to make these videos...
can you please do a video about the different downforce levels for each track in the F1 calendar and explain as to why a certain circuit demands more downforce than others
I'll put it on the list :)
thanks, can't wait
Wow...never heard more clearly...
wtf 40k subs nice
I hope your week from hell wasn't as bad as it sounds.
thanks :)
Could you do a comparison video between the McLaren Honda and Toro Rosso Honda? It seems to me that McLaren's chassis/engineering lead to their unreliability and poor performance. Gasly justed finished 4th this weekend.
keep it up! :)
I do get most of it but is Spa the only exception that runs ultra-soft under high stress conditions?
Can you talk about scrutineering in your next topic please?
I'm about to do some aero videos but I'll try and get round to scrutineering at some point for sure!
What is scrutineering?
