Pirelli changes tyres for Bahrain – In depth look at how the race will pan out
Pongo una parte
Likely tyre performance and other considerations
Pirelli tyre choice for Bahrain: Medium and Hard.
This is the second time this combination of 2013 Pirelli tyre compounds has been seen, after Malaysia. Last season for Bahrain Pirelli brought the soft and medium tyres.
The original plan announced by Pirelli in February was for soft and hard tyres at this race. But that has been changed.
Tyre degradation was very high last year, especially due to the heat. Degradation is a measure of the decline in lap time performance, whereas wear is the consumption of the tyre. Degradation on the soft tyre was very extreme in China, with tyres lasting no more than seven laps in the race and drivers reluctant to use them in Q3 for fear of compromising strategy by starting the race on a used set and making an early first stop.
Teams like Lotus and Force India also found that there was a significant benefit last year to saving a set of new tyres for the race compared to used sets from qualifying. So it could well be another disjointed qualifying session.
Based on last year’s figures, a new set of tyres compared to a used set is worth around 8 seconds over the course of a stint.
This race is likely to produce the highest track temperatures of the season so far. The high temperature creates more movement in the tyre compound and this accelerates the tyre degradation.
The stable weather conditions in Bahrain are likely to mean that the practice sessions will give strong indications for race strategy.
