Tyre Wear per team and compound at Suzuka circuit in 2023 F1 Japanese Grand Prix. Tyre Wear per team and compound in 2023 F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

Let’s take a look at the tyre wear per team and compound at the Suzuka circuit based on data collected from the 2023 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix:

Hards:
Red Bull > McLaren > Ferrari = Mercedes > Aston Martin

Mediums:
Red Bull > McLaren > Ferrari = Mercedes >> Aston Martin

The ‘>’ refers to the pace along the stint; not to the wear

Red Bull was unmatched on any compound. Mercedes could manage the Medium tyres very well, even though their outright pace was not exceptional

George Russell did the longest stint: 29 laps on the Hard set. Other very long stints we’re made by Alonso (28) and Ocon (27 with a full tank)

Oscar Piastri was the first front runner to pit, Carlos Sainz last: the tyre differential negated the car performance difference
