Jarno Trulli criticizes Pirelli

With the arrival of a new tire manufacturer to replace Bridgestone, the FIA ​​jumped at the opportunity to revitalize racing. Formula 1. Pirelli was therefore asked to produce rubber which, if it does not radically change the behavior of the single-seaters, allows for more pit-stops, a guarantee, according to it, of a better show.

Jarno Trulli, an experienced driver who has hosted the Circus since 1997, does not seem satisfied with the behavior of the tires he was able to test on his Lotus T128. “ I think something is missing in the development because the tires don't have a good balance, he confided to our Italian colleagues at Autosprint. This is the biggest problem we face today. Pirelli tells us that the FIA ​​has asked them to introduce tires that degrade quickly, but I don't believe that is the cause. It's just secondary, because what we noticed is that when we take to the track with new tires, there is understeer which becomes completely the opposite after only three laps! »

The Italian driver also regrets, for a better understanding of the discipline, that regulatory stability is not required. “ F1 changes its regulations too often. My point of view is clear: for a year or two, there should be discussions with those involved to, why not, find a revolutionary idea and thus maintain stability for several seasons. The spectator does not always understand these changes in regulations, such as refueling, the number of stops, the F Duct or the SREC. Frankly, how can SREC, for example, excite him? People at home simply want to understand. If we change the rules every year, we can only create confusion He concluded.
