Drivers will be capable of running entire race distances on a single set of tyres at some grands prix in 2017 says Pirelli’s Paul Hembery.

Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery says the changes to F1 cars and tyres in 2017 shouldn’t make overtaking much more difficult.

F1’s new, wider tyres for 2017 won’t be tested until next year, according to Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery, as there will be no post-season test.

Pirelli have issued a further statement from motorsport director Paul Hembery denying the tyre supplier is ‘attacking’ anyone over the tyre failures which occured during the British Grand Prix.

Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery says the tyre manufacturer needs to know “sooner rather than later” whether it will be supplying tyres next year.
