Man is said to be the only animal that has stumbled twice on the same rock. And for this reason, Pirelli moved forward with what could happen this weekend at the 2022 F1 Azerbaijan GP, in Baku, to recall a few days ago in a statement that “the high speed of Azerbaijan is a must for tires “. The Italian company did well to make this nuance in front of all the teams so that they could think about their strategies for Sunday’s race after the significant finish experienced at the Baku GP last year.
Last year, both Lance Stroll and Max Verstappen had an accident after seeing one of their tires explode straight, at top speed. Both drivers said the explosions in their respective left rear tires were caused by debris on the rails. But Pirelli, after analyzing the situation and seeing that other tires from other drivers with the same lap had stopped, pointed out that it was not “any manufacturing defect” and that “there were no signs of fatigue or delamination “and clarified that” this is due to a circumferential break in the inner part, which may be associated with the running conditions of the tire, despite compliance with the set starting parameters (minimum pressure and maximum temperature of the heating blanket) “.
In other words, Pirelli pointed to the way in which the two teams used the wheels as an excuse. And a year later, despite concerns that due to low demand curves in Baku, the tires chosen were the softest in the Pirelli range (same as those used in Monaco), the Italian tire company recalled that the long straight Baku was once. again is asking for tires.
