Pirelli communicated to the teams, before the actual start of the summer break, le mixes in the dry which will be used in the Dutch Grand Prix (weekend from 25-27 August) and Italian (1-3 September).
Dutch GP, the compounds selected by Pirelli
For the Zandvoort event, the trio of compounds used last year is confirmed, which includes C1, C2 and C3, a choice determined by the severity of the route, one of the most stressful for the tires of the entire calendar, especially in the two banked curves (3 and 14). Furthermore, this year's C1 is a new, softer compound than in the past and is placed between the C2 and the old C1, now called C0.
Pirelli announces: the ATA will return to Monza
In Monza it will be tested for the second time in the season the new tire allocation criterion (ATA, Alternative Tire Allocation) that it had debuted at the Hungaroring before the summer break. The three softest compounds will be available on the so-called “Temple of Speed” – C3, C4 and C5 – of the 2023 range, unlike what happened in 2022, when the trio was made up of C2, C3 and C4: a choice that could offer, in combination with the ATA, a wider range of options from a strategic point of view.
