I couldn't find the data from Pirelli about the working temperature ranges for 2023 tyres. It seems like the 2023 tyres are quite a bit faster, operates under lesser pressures (more grip) than last year and potentially have wider temperature ranges. If these things are indeed correct, then tyre life is not going to be such a big pain for Ferrari. So they don't need a whole lot of dirty downforce. If the car doesn't slide a lot, causing wear, then there shouldn't be a big concern. They can probably find a bit more from the floor as the development continues.f1316 wrote: ↑02 Mar 2023, 01:29Brave indeed. Conventional wisdom would suggest that if they’re worried about tyre life and have a 10 kph advantage (vs last year), adding ‘dirty’ downforce might be a good idea.
So I hope brave doesn’t become foolish but I’m sure they know ten billion times more about it than I do!
