This will see tyre compounds mandated for each stage of F1’s usual three-part qualifying session: hard tyres only in Q1; mediums tyres only in Q2; and, finally, soft tyres only in Q3. Intermediates and wets will be allowed if the RQF sessions are declared wet. At RQF events, each dr...
Q: And with the ATA this weekend. We've seen all three tyre compounds used in that Qualifying session. How did the car perform on each tyre? CL:Well, I think it wasn't too bad. Compared to the others, I feel we probably struggled a bit more on the Hard, especially on the first ...
First of all, how is the return to harder tyre compounds affecting the car? AK:I don’t think the return to the harder compounds itself affects the car. It’s actually more the type of corners we have here. So, that’s where possibly the weakness of the VF-23 might get exposed. Co...

Along with it comes the confirmation that they will be dropping back to five dry compounds next season too, with C1-C5 being the choices of slick tyres available to the tyre manufacturer next year. The C0 tyres – the hardest available in 2023 – were not used at all in the season, so...

Mick Schumacher has returned to the wheel of a Formula 1 car by getting a run in the Mercedes W14 during this week’s Pirelli tyre test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.
