What the lessons of 2013’s mid-year tyre change mean for F1 2023's dominant team
OPINION: Pirelli has announced a change in Formula 1 slick tyre construction from the upcoming British Grand Prix. This evoked memories of another in-season tyre change a decade ago that massively altered a season’s story. So, is F1 suddenly set to get a 2013-like tale in 2023?
Its leading V-surnamed star retiring from the front of the British Grand Prix and Sergio Perez exiting with a puncture. That would be quite the shock for Red Bull at Silverstone in seven weeks.
If it avoids losing pole – and therefore most likely victory – in Monaco, perhaps that would be the only way the team gets knocked off what looks like an irresistible run to world title glory, possibly with a new victory record to boot. Mercedes currently hold this accolade with 19 wins from 21 races in 2016.
