Pirelli Motorsport Director Paul Hembery has stated that the
Italian tyre manufacturer will work with the Formula One teams to look at what
the problem is in relation to regulation change approved on Thursday by the FIA
that will allow teams to choose their own compounds for each race from next
season.
Up until this year Pirelli have announced the tyre
allocation for each race however from 2016 this is set to change as teams will
be asked to pick two of Pirelli’s four compounds for each Grand Prix.
Prior to Thursday’s meeting Pirelli had raised concerns
about the prospect of allowing teams a free choice of tyre as it would be
extremely expensive for the tyre supplier to produce the tyres. However it has
now been approved.
Pirelli have four compounds
Soft
Super Soft
Medium
Hard
Pirelli have also welcomed the introduction from 2017 of
wider tyres however the Italian manufacturer has yet to confirm a deal with
Formula One as their current contract runs until the end of next season.
