We know the COTA circuit very well, but we are bringing our new rubber compounds this year, which creates some unknowns. On the other hand, we know that the grip will be low, and that its surface will be uneven in places. Based on our data and taking into account the configuration of the circuit, we selected symmetrical tires for the front, in three compounds (Soft, Medium, Hard) and two asymmetrical options for the rear, in Soft and Medium. The right shoulder of the rear tires will be harder, but this is not to compensate for the number of turns, but rather for the sequence of the triple right-handers (turns 16, 17 and 18) which generates very high stresses on the tires. We intend to provide the perfect technical package to our partners, who broke numerous records on this track last year and who of course intend to try to do better this year, partly thanks to our tires.
