Pirelli
Motorsport have released the following statistics form the last two Formula One
season's.
The
Italian manufacturer saw the biggest regulation changes ahead of the 2014
season since they entered the sport in 2011 having replaced Bridgestone as
Formula One’s sole tyre supplier.
In
terms of the number of pit-stop’s made in 2014, they were similar to the 2013 season
with an average of 2-3 stops per race weekend. Speaking about the changes for
the 2014 Formula One season, Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery stated:
'After three years of making tyres that feature
deliberate degradation, in accordance with our brief, this year’s revolutionary
new rules with turbocharging and increased torque prompted the need for more
consistent and predictable tyres, leading to the same average number of pit
stops per race (2 or 3).
Once more, Pirelli was able to fulfill the brief and
help enhance the racing.’
