Pirelli is planning to make F1 tyres ‘significantly faster’ by 2013 and could elect to develop a special tyre specifically for qualifying.
Paul Hembry, Pirelli director was talking about the future of Pirelli tyres and the possibilities of what they could do.
He said “After Silverstone we will get together and show the teams a few things,” he said. “Maybe we will increase the number of different tyres; maybe we’ll bring three compounds to a race, maybe with a total of six to choose from.
“I don’t know yet. There are a lot of ideas.”
As well as quicker tyres to fit in with a change in F1 regulations in 2013, a ‘super-sticky’ qualifying tyre could be developed which would be good for one quick lap.
“In the end for something like that, the decision is with the teams,” Hembery added. “They might say no.”
