Scuderia Ferrari’s Formula 1 performance this season is being hindered by the main challenge of Pirelli’s 2019 tyres being the opposite of last year’s rubber.
Pirelli opted to reduce the tread thickness of all its compounds by 0.4mm after successfully running thinner-gauge tyres at three races in 2018. The objective of this change is to protect tyres from blistering, but several teams have claimed that an additional consequence has been how much harder it is to get the tyres up to temperature.
