![]() ![]() And then I hope they are going to decide based on the data. Obviously we will also supply all the data to the tyre expert of the team. What we are doing is that, after the test, we are doing a report: an executive summary for team principals so they don't have to read 40 or 50 pages – I hope you are happy, just three pages with a summary, you’re welcome! – with a summary of the test. It’s not the final test because we have other tests planned for the rest of the season – but after this test the F1 Commission is going to decide if, for 2024, we ban the blankets or not. Q: While we’re talking 2024-spec, can we throw it forward to next week where there is the final test of the tyres without tyre blankets. It was always like this in the past, it’s also like this now. The tyres can be slightly different, because the weight, we have a tolerance of 100g so clearly if you have all the tyres at the limit on weight: they can be 600g heavier, or 650g, but other sets are slightly lighter. That’s not our decision: we just told them what is the difference in average weight. It was decided to keep the same minimum weight for the cars. Obviously we already informed the FIA some time ago on the new weight. One set is 400g heavier than the previous ones, so I believe it is not making a big difference. Q: Now, some drivers have said that these tyres are heavier than expected – and I’m quoting some of them there – what was expected and what is your response to that? So, I want to wait for FP2 to better understand – but I’m not expecting anything strange, compared to the previous construction. And obviously FP2 is the more representative session for us. When I say good, I mean they didn’t feel any difference, compared to the previous construction. Mario ISOLA: What is new is just the material that we wanted to introduce in 2024 but looking at the performance of the cars, we decided to anticipate it and FP1 was in-line with our expectations – don’t forget they already tested the tyres in Barcelona and the feedback was good. ![]() How were they performing in FP1? And, tell us what’s new as well? Q: Mario, can we start with you, because we’ve seen some new tyre constructions introduced at this race.
