To Increase Performance, Red Bull Wants to Return to Pirelli Tires
The Red Bull team requested Formula One (F1) management to discuss the use of tires again. Because the tires used by drivers today, namely compound tires, are considered many shortcomings and not suitable for use by racers. Red Bull's Chief Engineer & Car Engineering, Paul Monaghan said, F1 must adapt to improve the elements of the show and need to change tire specifications.
To Increase Performance, Red Bull Wants to Return to Pirelli Tires
According to Monaghan, Red Bull is keen to return to the Pirelli 2018 tire. The reason is that the tire is believed to be able to improve the performance of his team's car. "With a slightly controversial risk, we will be happy to accept 2018 tires to return. I don't think the risk is as big as some people feel, "Monaghan told Crash.
"It's about making a show, and I think we almost have to take a step back and take a position that is a little less focused on the team and turn around and say 'good. If it will be better for the show, can the team handle it 'and our opinion is yes, we can, "continued Mohaghan.
During the Austrian Grand Prix (GP) last weekend, F1 held a vote on whether to return to the specifications of the Pirelli 2018 tires which are thicker than the 2019 compound. As a result, 5 teams agreed to return to 2018 tires, including Red Bull, while 5 teams insisted on maintaining the compound tires that are now being used.
F1 has so far not made a decision, because of the results of the ballot draw. a majority of seven votes are needed to drive changes in tire specifications in the middle of this season. these conditions are predicted to cause division. The Honda and Ferrari teams choose 2018 tires, while the Mercedes and Renault teams want to keep 2019 tires.
"If there is a majority of voices disagreeing with us, we will accept it. However, we clearly disagree with the vote in favor of compound tires," Monaghan said. Austria, last weekend, the performance of the Red Bull-Honda driver Max Verstappen was very promising.
Starting the race from second place, Verstappen managed to show incredible speed. The Dutch racer managed to claim the first position in the middle of the race. The position he managed to hold was kept until the finish flag fluttered.
The success of Verstappen ended the fast of Honda's victory in the F1 world championship. According to Monaghan, the positive results of the Red Bull-Honda were not due to the influence of compound tires. His team was able to reach the first podium because of the hard work of the machine polishing team, and Verstappen who performed well. { Source }
