Malaysian circuit is characterized by climatic changes that can happen and there really will be as lasting tires soft and it is anticipated that the pilots made between 3 and 4 speed stops (unless it rains). Paul Hembery, Pirelli sports chief: " circuit Sepang wear due to its two long straights and very slow corners so drivers will require more concentration to avoid damaging the tires. We do not expect major problems during the race and look forward to the start of the Grand Prix. This means that the costs to be borne by the tires at every turn is a lot. That is why drivers must drive carefully to avoid locking the brakes, especially with these cars have little downforce .
" The nature of the Sepang circuit and over 50 degrees centigrade track will probably be more aggressive combination for our tires. No Indeed, the rain could change the situation. But it is likely that in normal circumstances, at the Grand Prix of Malaysia see an average of four stops per driver .
The first analysis of data obtained after Friday's practice show that the soft tires will last about eight laps if used in qualifying and, therefore, to exit the race. This strategy would be three-stop teams who choose to opt for the advantage of 1.2 seconds provides the soft compound.
However, who choose to start the race with the tires, attributed to a resistance of about twenty laps , could save a pit stop, which could give them a good advantage over those who opt for the soft tires.
Speaking to Autosport, Paul Hembery insists that it will promote the show and the emotion: "I think we'll an average of three pit stops, and I was surprised to see four "
soft tires provide an advantage a second on the hard compound, but we must not lose sight of the enormous suffering degradation bands in this circuit. This scenario requires teams to choose strategies.
" hard tires are 12 to 14 laps, although with some changes to reach the 18 laps. This you about a three-stop strategy, but who will also try two s pitstop "he says.
Pirelli does not trust their rain tires and advised not to gamble
Pirelli has warned pilots having no rain tires when the track dries, and the change through an arrest even if it means more boxes on the strategy of riding slicks directly.
According to the head of Pirelli would be a serious risk that drivers try to go extreme wet tires to slicks. Remember also that the Bridgestone suffered greatly in 2009 Kimi llvia rode those extreme when casi no había agua y se los pulió en tres vueltas.
"No creo que puedan pasar directamente de neumáticos de lluvia a slicks, porque las gomas de mojado son para mucha lluvia y no trabajan bien sobre pistas que se están secando, por lo que sufrirían 'blistering' (ampollas en la goma) muy rápido", manifestó Hembery en unas declaraciones recogidas por AP. "No queráis estar en una pista seca con los de lluvia", advirtie el jefe de Pirelli a los pilotos.
Estas declaraciones se producen después de los tests que realizó Pedro de la Rosa en Turquía y que se desarrollaron en condiciones de lluvia.
Neumático extra duro para el viernes de Malasia
For the second test of the calendar, the Italian manufacturer provided "a hard compound experimental " the equipment used during the practice sessions on Friday.
extra hard compound is a new type of rubber that Pirelli being developed for possible use in 2011. Some reports indicate that the new compound is designed to more easily take the extreme corners such as turn 8 of Turkey. Specifically, this has been the glue that Pedro de la Rosa has been testing this past weekend in Istanbul, in his last days as test driver for Pirelli.
"The new tire is an experimental compound that could drive be used in the future. With the ban on training throughout the season, this gives us a valuable opportunity to gather more data, while also giving teams a first approximation of what could come in the future, "said the head of Pirelli Formula 1, Paul Hembery.
New band to identify the soft compound
Despite wanting to be different from the previous supplier that identified with a continuous soft, green, Pirelli had to fall in this system due to the endless criticism he received as it is very difficult to identify the compounds, especially the hard (silver in the first 3 races of the year)
Although it was hard compound (logo in silver) which gave more visibility problems during the Grand Prix of Australia, Pirelli has decided to modify slightly softer tire marks (marks in color yellow). In addition to the logo and name Pirelli P-Zero, these tires take a thin yellow stripe on the sidewall of the tire. The system will be similar to what we saw last year at Bridgestone but this time thinner.
