The issue of tires supplied by Pirelli for the Monaco Grand Prix is an old chestnut that walks the paddock alleys of the Principality.<\/p>\n
On the sidelines of the event, drivers Felipe Massa and Daniel Ricciardo once again stepped forward to demand that the Italian manufacturer provide tires suited for urban tracks, which are very low abrasion for the tires, such as the one in Monte-Carlo.<\/p>\n
The Williams driver assumes that all drivers on the grid should be required to make at least a second pit stop, as opposed to the single stop expected this Sunday, like in previous editions on the Rock, deeming the exercise thus \u00ab much too easy \u00bb and especially too predictable in race strategies.<\/p>\n
As for the Australian driver from Red Bull Racing, he suggests that the Italian supplier provide teams with “super ultra soft” tires to put an end to the issue, despite admitting that the 2017 regulations will allow for substantial time gains on the track: \u00ab Yes, I expect us to be under 1m and 12s \u00bb.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the list of tires allocated by Pirelli for each team would highlight the almost anecdotal nature of the yellow and red sidewall compounds also delivered to Monaco.<\/p>\n
\nICYMI here’s the full list of #Fit4F1<\/a> shoes available for the #MonacoGP<\/a>.
