Have Pirelli released anything to say how we can distinguish between hard and soft tyres yet?
It seems to be blue for inters and green for full wets.
Anybody know yet?
McG (@mcg) said on 12th March 2011, 17:52
The tyres are black.
mcmercslr (@mcmercslr) said on 12th March 2011, 17:58
Ha. I think it will be the coloured writing. Blue for inters, green for wets. Silver and yellow for the 2 dry tyres but not sure which Is which
thespuditron (@spud) said on 12th March 2011, 19:12
@mcmercslr: Yeah I saw the inters on the round up today and the wets in pictures today too. We’ll just have to wait and see I suppose. :)
@McG: Very funny. :P

I think the supersofts are cord and ply colored. That is to say that after two laps, you will be able to see the cords and plies from the tires flapping around as the driver comes in to change them.

They’ll announce it next week, for all four dry compounds and the two wets.

Ah right. Cheers dude. Thats cool. I saw a picture of the inters on the round up today too. Thats a really unusual looking thread isn’t it?

white i guess

Just noticed McLaren using Ferrari style front wheel rings this year.
thespuditron (@spud) said on 12th March 2011, 19:22
Yeah you’re right. I thought they were banned??
mateuss (@mateuss) said on 12th March 2011, 21:22
There is a rule to prevent them by limiting the surface area of the wheel-rim, thats why they are not as big as the ones on the F10 which had three rings instead of one. Its a bit like the roll-blade rule change.
DeadManWoking (@deadmanwoking) said on 12th March 2011, 21:38
They couldn’t use them last year because the wheels were homologated at the beginning of the season.
BasCB (@bascb) said on 13th March 2011, 12:29
Good spot Dead Man Woking. A shame they did not get this banned as well, looks ugly.
Electrolite said on 12th March 2011, 18:50
I knew the Mercedes was gorgeous…but my god!!
DeadManWoking (@deadmanwoking) said on 12th March 2011, 21:14
Except that they’ve gone to the tall sidepod vanes like everyone else now, I liked the looks of the short stub vanes better.
DeadManWoking (@deadmanwoking) said on 12th March 2011, 21:22
And they’ve replaced that retro W196 look rear facing scoop atop the sidepod with louvers to fix their KERS cooling problems.
verstappen said on 12th March 2011, 18:54
I like the type of green used for the lettering better then the Bridgestone green! And I’m gonna look at that HRT nose again (comparing it with the Mercedes one)
Dipak T said on 12th March 2011, 20:00
The Mercedes is even more stunning in the rain
Fer no.65 (@fer-no65) said on 12th March 2011, 20:08
is it me or those grooves are WAY deeper than those from Bridgestone ?
UKfanatic (@) said on 12th March 2011, 23:58
dunno has anyone notice how shiny are the pirellis they look like karting tyres
George (@george) said on 12th March 2011, 20:13
Great pictures today, <3 rainy sessions
Mike said on 13th March 2011, 5:07
Agreed, Fantastic photos.
Snaiperskaya (@mgp-w01) said on 12th March 2011, 21:36
Mercedes have gone back to the old spec wing again. Why?
Prisoner Monkeys (@prisoner-monkeys) said on 12th March 2011, 23:34
Maybe to assess its potential in the wet.
Faraz said on 12th March 2011, 22:00
What the hell is this???? ew

* check the mclaren nose
ad3 said on 12th March 2011, 22:11
oh it was just a piece of equipment to measure the load on various parts of the front wing. Its not permanent, its just been painted to match the livery.
TommyB (@tommyb89) said on 12th March 2011, 22:14
Good to see you have been choosing the McLaren pictures that don’t show the front of the nose Keith!
charles fox said on 12th March 2011, 22:30
Why have MercGP gone back to the old spec front wing ? Worried about ruining one before melbourne?
Alex Bkk (@alex-bkk) said on 12th March 2011, 23:41
Just guessing, but it could be they don’t need the new wing for a rain set up.
Einarai said on 12th March 2011, 23:10
Why doesnt heavy rain EVER hit barcelona during racetime?
Dave said on 13th March 2011, 6:03
because of the climate?
Alex Bkk (@alex-bkk) said on 12th March 2011, 23:43
I love that pan of Nico… absolutely perfect shot!
The 6th one down on the right.
fordsrule (@fordsrule) said on 13th March 2011, 2:54
Are these all the pictures Keith? I was hoping for more McLaren ones in the wet. :)
hamifan said on 13th March 2011, 20:43
