Some Free that aren’t free, but some trials. That’s what the second training sessions of United States F1 GP. An hour and a half of pilots rolling with experimental tires of an as yet undisclosed class where no one conclusion can be drawn. The teams have to sacrifice this session and make it a tire test, except for the drivers who did not ride in FP1. This is the case of Leclerc, Bottas and Ricciardothe three were the fastest as they were able to fit soft tires and medium 2022 tires at the start of the session.
No showmanship, no long runs, no maxed out laps, no pace comparison. Nothing. Just bends and more bends with rubber bands that don’t type. Therefore, the teams have to focus all their work on setting up their cars in Free Practice 3 this Saturday to face the classification of the United States GP with the best weapons (morning from Saturday to Sunday – 00:00 / DAZN F1) .
Very important test for Pirelli
The session is boring for the viewer, but very important for Pirelli, which saw how his tire test scheduled for Free Practice 2 of the Japanese GP was canceled due to rain, something that disrupted his plans. Pirelli I need this information from the teams like water in May and the teams need to do this test in Austin, in addition to doing another one like this in Free Practice 2 of the Mexican GP. All this, to the tire supplier world can create the best possible compounds related to its goals by 2023.
At this moment is when Pirelli has to define its compounds by 2023. Mario Isola, who is responsible for the Italian firm in F1, explained the importance of the tests in Austin. His focus is on hard tires: “We wanted to find a C1 compound with a little grip”. In addition, the transalpine firm wants to make a more stable front wheel to reduce the understeer of these current vehicles.
With a The F1 schedule is very tight (22 races this year), Pirelli was able to conduct several tests with the teams throughout the course, but I need to make more conclusions for the creation of the 2023 wheel. Hence the importance of prioritizing this need over the specific needs of each team in Free Practice 2 in Austin and Mexico. A test at the end of the season.
