From the 2011 season onwards, the F1 tyre rules have been adjusted as follows:
Endurance Tyres will be the sole tyre dealer for the 2011-2013 Formula 1 Grand Prix.
The new rules stipulate a total of 11 sets of tyres per driver per race weekend. At select stations, riders will be given an additional set of hard tyres, but only on Fridays, or will be asked to test a new formula for tyre development to collect data. Three sets of dry-ground tyres are designated for the first two practice sessions, and one set of tyres will be mothballed at the end of each practice session.
Eight sets of tyres are allowed for the rest of the race weekend, with one set of tyres mothballed prior to qualifying. Drivers who do not use two tyres of different textures during the race will be penalized as follows: "If the race is terminated early, a driver who does not use two tyres will receive an additional 30 seconds penalty after the race.
If the race ends normally, drivers who do not use two dry tyres will be disqualified. ”

There are two main categories: dry tires and rain tires.
Rain tires: full rain tires for heavy rain.
Semi-rain tires are used for light rain.
Dry tyres: ultra-soft tyres, fastest heating up, best grip in operating temperatures, shortest life, generally used on tire-friendly tracks and slow tracks (Monaco).
Soft tires heat up faster, grip is better at working temperature, has a shorter life, and is used more.
Medium tires Medium temperature up Good grip at working temperature Long life Most of the tracks are OK
Hard tyres Slowest temperature up Better grip at operating temperature Longest life FIA only offers two dry tyre types at every race, and two types of wet tyres are brought at every stop.

The tyre width of an F1 car is 305 355mm at the front and 365 380mm at the rear
Tires are the direct medium responsible for transporting engine power to the road surface, so if a car lacks high-performance tires, no amount of power can be converted into speed. It is for this reason that tyres, along with chassis, aerodynamics and engine, are the four major factors that determine the performance of a car. The development of tyres predates the birth of F1, but on land, no vehicle has as demanding tyre performance requirements as F1, and the science of F1 tyres has become incomprehensible.

1.How many ingredients do you need to make a tire?
More than 150 different substances are involved in the manufacturing process, including resins, petroleum, sulfur and textile fibers.
2.How long does it take to make an F1 tire?
This tightly structured technological marvel takes shape in less than 1 hour.
3.How many people do you need to make a tire?
Tire manufacturing requires a large number of employees. The production line is very long: from the mixture of basic raw materials, such as rubber and reinforcements, to the quality control after the tires have been baked.
4.How much does an F1 tyre cost?
It's hard to determine an exact **, but if you take into account the work of the competition department, it costs around 3,430 euros per complete set of tyres.
5.How many kilometers do you need to travel to test Michelin F1 tires? It takes 100,000 kilometers and about 500 days to complete the test.
6.What is the most significant difference between dry and wet tires in the tread grooves?
The construction, composites and of course tread patterns are completely different. Each tire is designed to meet different needs. Also, the wet tire tread must cover more than 30 surface areas.
7.When do I have to switch to wet tyres?
Riders can wait until the last minute to make a decision. They can also stop at any stage of the race and change tyres.
8.What is the ideal operating temperature for tires?
Dry tyres perform best at 90°C to 110°C. A good tyre should never overheat at any time, however this can happen, for example, when a wet tyre is on a road that gradually dries out.
9.How much less friction does a tire with four grooves in the tread reduce compared to a traditional race tire without a pattern?
This is important. On the one hand, the four-groove tires had less rubber in contact with the road surface, and on the other hand, we had to use a stiffer rubber composite.
Are tires specifically designed to steer in one direction?
Yes. This is especially true for wet tires, as their tread is designed to move in one direction.
11.Are front tires more likely to wear out than rear tires?
The life of the vehicle depends on the characteristics of the site, the road surface and the way the vehicle is equipped. You have to balance downforce, speed and endurance.
12.What is the ideal size for an F1 tire?
Similar to those tires that were in use before the current rules existed. You have to find an effective compromise between aerodynamics, tyre performance and the driver's requirements for cornering speed.

Each season allows a car to use 8 engines, with more than one set back 10 places.
Two compound tyres are provided for each race, each of which must be used, which means that there must be at least one pit stop for the race.

Of course it's dangerous.
Each year, the F1 race is held in a very different venue. Some of them are now on the plateau, where the air is thin and used to test the physical fitness of the riders; Some are tracks made up of streets, where the road surface is relatively narrow and twisty, and drivers can crash if they don't handle it properly; Some of the circuits are wide, but there are also uphill and downhill slopes to test the driver's skills; Others are built in wooded forests, where the track is undulating and it is difficult for drivers to control the car. Due to the frequent accidents in racing, the FIA requires that all host country race tracks must have adequate grass buffers. >>>More
Upstairs, it's nonsense, electronic brake-force distribution, anti-lock braking, and electronic steering systems or something, and F1 used to be there, and the FIA revised the F1 rules in 06 to cancel it, and you don't want to think about it. The world's most funded event, how can you not even fit this thing? Now it's all standard on civilian cars, and it's all standard and says!! 1.Rule Restrictions. >>>More
Over the past few years, the target baseline for engine wars has risen to the limit of 1,000 hp, with some teams able to reach 300 hp in 2005 with a 3-litre engine. After that, the 3-liter V10 engine disappeared from view. Since 2006, all cars have been required to use a V8 engine, which produces 80% of the previous power. >>>More
