(Pirelli Motorsport Media)
Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery has stated that the
Italian tyre supplier expected there to be a three second jump in performance
this season.
Hembery has stated that initial data shows that the new 1.6
litre V6 turbo charged power units will be on a par with the old 2.4 litre V8
engines with the help on the new range of Pirelli tyre's.
Hembery told Autosport
that the new fact that the teams have been allowed to develop the power train
over the winter will enable them to be even faster this season.
He believes that the time the Formula One circus arrives in
Melbourne for the first race or at least by the Chinese Grand Prix the 1.6
litre turbo charged units will be similar in terms of pace to the old V8
engines.
This year, Hembery believes that Pirelli’s tyre choice will
be more aggressive after being accused of going too conservatively with their
choice last year.
