Pirelli says it has done all it can to show that F1 tyres can run without blankets in 2024 ahead of a decision on the subject later this week.
However, the consensus in the paddock is that blankets will ultimately be kept for slicks next season, with only wets and possibly intermediates running without them.
The teams already agreed earlier this year to introduce wet tyres without blankets, with the new tyres first used on track in the Monaco race. "Then obviously we have other tests, we have Spa, then we have Monza, then we have the in-competition tests. The development phase, it's not yet finished."So we still have some something to test, some new compounds. Construction is almost finalised. We are really looking for the compounds."
"The question is, does it improve the racing? Do you have a better show? And while you can do it in testing, the grip comes halfway around the lap and then it's relatively normal for the drivers from there on, there are scenarios that you can't really do in testing, like a wet-to-dry transition if there's a safety car, and all the cars are in the pits.
