1 Answers
F1 pit stop world record is 1.82 seconds. Types of F1 tires: They are categorized as supersoft, soft, medium, and hard tires. To distinguish them, each type is marked with a different color. In terms of speed, supersoft tires perform the best. The softer the tire, the faster the speed, but the less durable it is. Therefore, supersoft tires are commonly used in qualifying sessions. Reasons for F1 tire changes: The designed lifespan of F1 racing tires is 120 kilometers, which is extremely short compared to the tens of thousands of kilometers for ordinary civilian tires. The life of an F1 racing tire is like a meteor—brief but dazzling. Tires widely use steel belts to enhance wear resistance, while F1 racing tires also employ complex woven nylon and polyester structures to increase strength. During races, tires must withstand nearly one ton of downforce, as well as 4g lateral loads and up to 5g longitudinal loads. Moreover, the tires must be made thin yet tough, resulting in a very short lifespan.
