A well-known F1 tyre expert has slammed Pirelli’s explanation for the Baku blowouts as a “typical political reaction”. “The team has always operated its tyres within the Pirelli-prescribed parameters and will continue to do so,” the Lawrence Stroll-owned team said in a statement. “Aston and Red Bull stuck to the limits given, there were no cuts in the tyres from debris and no defects or failure from Pirelli. Van der Grint predicted that the latest episode will do nothing to improve relations between Formula 1’s sole and official tyre supplier and the teams. “It is clear that many teams no longer take Pirelli seriously,” he said. “It’s just another example of the lack of trust between Pirelli and the teams,” the tyre engineer added.
