Pirelli looks set to abandon a shift of its C2 compound for next year after trials of a prototype at Formula 1’s Japanese Grand Prix showed no improvement.
This was because it has proven to be quite close in performance to the C1, and slightly too far away from the C3, so a slight shift would have helped make the gaps between compounds more equal. Asked by Motorsport.com about the conclusion of the Friday test in Japan, Pirelli's head of car racing Mario Isola said:"Looking at the data, and also considering the track evolution, I believe that the prototype doesn't have the grip that we were looking for.
At this month's Mexican Grand Prix, however, Pirelli will test a revised C4 prototype that it hopes will make its characteristics better.
