The Formula 1 tyre furore rather overshadowed Max Verstappen’s 2023 world title coronation across the Qatar Grand Prix weekend. While he and Red Bull still delivered another stellar victory on Sunday to celebrate his championship triumph clinched in Saturday’s sprint, the mandated tyre stints put a different and slightly artificial appearance on proceedings
Overall then, not exactly how Pirelli would have wanted to spend the Formula 1 race weekend preceding the announcement that it will remain as the championship’s sole tyre supplier until at least 2028.
Instead of sitting comfortably on that news, it had to work with the FIA to ensure there would be a Qatar Grand Prix at all in 2023. Such was the concern over the tyres being able to withstand repeated, sustained impacts on the high-speed Losail International Circuit’s newly installed ‘pyramid’ kerbs.
