George Russell believes that Formula 1 is not ready to run blanket-free Pirelli tyres in 2024 and says he is “concerned” about the safety implications of using them next season.
“In hindsight, it probably wasn't tested in the right conditions at the right circuit,” he said when asked by Autosport if he thinks that the blanket-free tyre is raceable. “But if I compare that in contrast with the start of the year, when I did one run in Jerez in 10-degree track temperature, it was extremely difficult getting out of the pits.
Leclerc expressed similar sentiments about the Barcelona test, suggesting that while the tyres worked well in hot weather at that venue he wants to see how they will behave in less favourable conditions. “I would like to maybe test those tyres in different conditions, and then see whether they are raceable in all conditions. But again, it was a positive test with the conditions that we've had in Barcelona.”
