@@matteo.v1 Does how soft they are matter though? Isn't it more important to know the difference in the compounds used at the same race than between two races?
The year is 2020. Pirelli have released a new tire compound called Ludicrousoft. It made the cars so fast that the drivers brains went into their feet but it was a fan favourite because of the plaid compound.
You forgot to mention that in 2018, for the first time, Pirelli now don't only bring 3 consecutive (from Softer-Harder) compounds to a Grand Prix anymore, for example the Chinese Grand Prix 2018. In 2017, the Chinese Grand Prix had the following three compounds: Supersoft, Soft, Medium. In 2018, the Chinese Grand Prix will have the compounds: Ultrasoft, Soft and Medium. As you can see they skip the Supersoft tyre and therefore make the qualifying/race choices more interesting. Hope any of this made sense, my first language isn't English.
They could always tell people during downtime of qualifying or during Race/FP which compound the tyres actually are, so the people who want to know, can still find out
2017 was pretty dull in terms of strategy after Pirelli pretty much nailed 2016 in my opinion with the idea of bringing 3 sets of tyres to a race which really opened up strategy. In 2017 it didn't really work as well since the tyres were so durable. Hopefully these 2018 changes will re-introduce strategy calls within the pit-lane as seeing everyone commit to a 1 stop strategy on the two softest tyres is quite disappointing.
Completely agree! The three tyre thing was genius in my opinion and it was so frustrating to see it all thrown away with over conservative tyres. Roll on 2018.
As far as I can tell, the 7 tyre compounds are just Pirelli covering their bases. If the compounds are too hard everywhere, they'll change their plans and go 1 compound softer. If the compounds are too soft everywhere, they'll change their plans and go 1 compound harder. I'd love for Pirelli to prove me wrong, or to even have a gap in tyre choice (say, US, S and M), but I really doubt it. I'd expect us to see 4 tyre compounds regularly, (SS, S, M, H) and then HS probably won't even be given by Pirelli at all, SH will have 2 teams use 1 set in FP1/2 only and that's it, and US will only be used in Q2 by a few slower teams to get into Q3, who will then get obliterated in the race because they'll need to pit in the first 5 laps.
6:38 I am actually against to colour and label the same sets of colours to whichever three compounds into just soft medium and hard. It will cause headache to the pirelli's employees since they will be confused which three compounds should be taken out of the storage, coloured/labeled and shipped, and it will be a massive disaster if they mixed up some of the wrong compounds, coloured/labeled them and shipped them to the teams.
Thanks for doing a revised video. Your original one two years ago got my head around the new rules and i was quite prepared for the season ahead. Once more i will be prepared with a multitude of compounds to remember. Keep it up.
I can only wish this channel had more videos .... Great work .... I hope every week you can dive into one aspect of F1 like helmets race barriers ... Front aero .... Brakes ....how teams gained advantages by clever innovations over the decades ...!!!! All the best !!!
You missed one little thing. Pirelli can also choose 3 compounds for a race which don’t follow up. For example: hypersoft, soft and hard for one race. Rest of your video is awesome, keep up the good work 💪🏻
Wow, nice vid! Considering that I haven't watched F1 for over a decade now and decided to give it another go this year I've found so many new things explained here! will definitely subscribe and watch your other videos to get back on track, thanks!
This is great for a couple of reasons. It's informative, which I know sounds obvious, but it's simple and clear. Most of all, you don't feel the need to try and make it funny. So many people go that road, which usually results in the unfunny comments stomping on the info.
That last idea you gave was something I was thinking about for a long time. Take 3 compounds for a race, name them soft, medium and hard. Would make everything so much easier to understand
If it makes for better race strategies then I'm all for it. This is a good period of time to do some nice theory crafting. It will open up lots of discussions.
Thank you for making this, I understand the many compounds now! I think commentators (except Croft) will get fed up with all the silly names and just start calling them soft medium and hard regardless. I will say if in 2019 they do go with just painting them all only 3 colours (which they won't) it should be Red, Yellow and White so that Blue is reserved for wets only
I like the idea of tires brought to a race being called soft-medium-hard regardless of their absolute softness. In addition to that, though, I'd still like to be able to know how the soft of this weekend compares to the soft of other weekends, so perhaps Pirelli might introduce an arbitrary unit of softness, e.g., the "hypersoft" would be assigned the value of 10 and everything other compound would receive a number that accurately reflects how soft it is by comparison (ultra soft 9, supersoft 8, soft 7, medium 5, hard 3, superhard 2, ...)
- Are the same rules applicable for 2021? - If yes, do they reveal the two mandatory tyre options to the public? - As I understood from the video, racers who qualify for Q3 need to return Q3 tyres at the end of the qualifying, whereas the teams eliminated in Q1 and Q2 can keep em for the race? Doesn't this give them an advantage?
Dear Perrelli, You know that over in Indycar, the focus of the racing is, you know, the RACING; and not issues with the Firestone tyre compound. Yes, they get a mention every once an.awhile. But, the focus is on the cars and the racing. Oh, and they (Indycar and Firestone) do it on 3 compounds and not 9 (including the 2 wet compounds).
I agree with the very last point. Just keep the same three colours for the tyres, even if red is super soft one week and hyper soft the next. I don't care that one week's red tyre may be softer or harder than last week's, I just want to know what the softest is. Etc.
It will be interesting to see if Pirelli decides to skip over compounds in order to have more varied strategies. For example, with how close the SS and US tires are to each other the minimal wear differences makes the US the better option, but what if they do a say, Hard, SS, HS weekend to make the wear vs time difference more pronounced. It would make a 1-stop or 2-stop strategy more balanced. The Hard may be a few second a lap slower than the US but may go twice as far meaning the pit delta would play an even greater role in which tire to use.
Hello Sir, After popping up in my suggested feed, I’m now subscribed in the hope of more videos like this. In my opinion a very good in-depth look explaining the complexity of the topic. What I find sad though is the fact that F1/ FOM/ Liberty Media should be making videos like this, so the viewers don’t have to get their information from third parties, but it’s good for your channel, I guess. Maybe F1 will give us a video on such things before the season. I doubt they will be able to include that subtle criticism, in this case of Pirelli. Keep it up!
I do agree with you about the coloring of the tires. A lot of racing fans don't need to know what specific compound or construction of the tires drivers are using during a race. Just keep it simple like the "primary and alternate" Bridgestone tire compound era. And... also how about reducing the crews working for each car during a pit-stop, just to make pit-stops in races more interesting?
The colours on the tyres will tell a fan how long a tyre is going to last. You won't be thinking oh they've got the softest compound which is an ultrasoft this weekend.... or is it a supersoft?? It's a lot of colours but it does serve a purpose
Thanks for the review. This is getting a bit insane. I love the idea of making a 2 stop more practical, although some would prefer 0 pit stops (I find watching the strategy that goes into this on the Mercedes Pit Wall videos so intriguing; I really can't imagine eliminating such a cool team aspect from F1). With that said, I don't think introducing more tires really helps with encouraging 2 stops. Making the tires 2 steps softer, however does. The fact that the Hard's were eliminated by like Spain because they were totally useless doesn't bode well for the 2018 Super Hard's; it'll be the same situation where you can run 2 of the softer tires (M-H, last year's S-M) for the distance of any track and thus complete the mandatory 1 stop. I can't imagine a situation where you would ever use the Super Hard's just as there was no situation where you'd run Hard's last year, that is unless they got rid of the mandatory pit stop. I'm partially color blind too, and this is going to make reading tires more difficult for me :|
You said, you would colour them as Soft, Medium and Hard. But you could also get more compounds to each race. This would be very exiting and would lead into many different strategys.
Earlier last season I seem to recall hearing that teams would get to choose compounds for the races "within reason", though this seems to have been dropped. If teams had to choose between three compounds to take out of four allocated, it would be very interesting - do you go for a softer tyre for optimal qualifying and risk having to do an extra stop in the race, or potentially qualify lower in the order but have the potential to do one less stop with a more durable tyre?
I appreciate the possibility of less one-stop races and more strategic diversity. It’s easier to find tires fitting to the race track with more compounds available.
at the beginning of each werekend you could also just have a look at what tires are available and se which ones are the softest, the mediate or the hardest one
I think the reason why they color the tyres in the race in the wide variaty of colors is so people can see on which they drive. otherwise they might drive on a supersoft in the red color. and somebody else is driving the hypersofts. the lap time of the hypersofts will be faster but they can race way less rounds. if you keep they colors like they are give you can make your decision on the color on the enemies tyres.
I understand for newer viewers might be confusing. But I like the different names, give me a closer look into the technical intricacies of f1. And that's what we nerds like.
That idea that there should be only 3 colors is brilliant I think. We will all know what tyres are used anyway, but it'll be much easier to see and simpler for non pedantic people :)
Seems like your suggestion for the simplified tyre colours came through. In 2019 all races will have the white, yellow and red tyres, although any sub-compound may be used. Source: www.f1-fansite.com/f1-news/pirelli-simplifies-tyre-colours-for-2019/
Your race code for tyres is kind a genius! The same three colors every race would make it easier! Though I still would like to know what actually compound it is.
Reeeeeeeeeeeee thanks chain bear f1 I was wondering about the tyres for ages and its good to know now, also great vids and good content, keep it up. Thanks m8
I think that they should give 4 to 5 options for tire compounds. They should then space the compounds out and remove the rules on minimum number of sets and compounds used during the race
can you do a video on car setup rules and parc ferme (what happens when any of the sessions is wet, what are you allowed to change, what can the driver do himself, what can be done in pitstops...)
So that’s why I can’t just use any tire when I play career mode I thought the game was just bugged or something Great video by the way it really helped better understand the tire rules
Really informative, subbed instantly. Keep it up! EDIT: Considering Pirelli has to manufacture these tyres way ahead of the race, I think it´s easier for them to make them the same colour. Unifying them for the each race woul be a complication imho. And for the viewers as well aI think.
Great video ... again. Can you make a video about F1 constructors championships? Why each year teams need to build new cars? Do they have right to use last year cars? What elements and parts of F1 car must be constructed by teams themselves, and what they can buy/rent from other constructors/teams? I believe that this issue is almost always overlooked by a large part of the F1 community, and yet it is fascinating, this is mainly core of F1.
Your videos are great, I think having a soft background music would help with the overall feel and pace of the video. Btw I do like all the colours for the tyres, it gives more life to the cars imo
As usual, an excellent video. Personally I'm not bothered by the large number of colors. I'm sure we'll all get used to it soon enough and I think it's nice to be able to compare the performance/use of a given compound across tracks, which I think would be somewhat more difficult if they used the same 3 colors for every race.
AAAAAND its still mostly one-stopping all the time. Even with the softer tyres. I would love having races where Medium-Hard and Soft-Soft-Medium (relative) would be almost the same times, but Soft-Medium would be almost impossible (and slow). Would spice up the question if it would be good to do Q2 on the Medium tyre and get the one-stop, but being slower in Q2 as a risk.
Awesome video! I embrace these new compounds as I really think it'll mix up the racing strategy loads, so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out. I do agree with you also on the whole too many colours thing. During the race I don't particularly care if they'll be using the ultrahypermega soft tyre as i'll probably know which compounds they'll be using already. I'd just want to know which sets are the softest/hardest out of what they have with just having soft, medium & hard colours in the race! Thank you for getting me through the winter break! Amazing video dude :D
You forgot to mention that Pirelli can now choose 3 compounds that dosent need to be next to eachother on the softness scale, as in China its Mediums, Softs and Ultra Softs
Mate who wouldve imagined they are actually gonna use your idea next year
Yeah thats really cool actually
2019: Introducing the hyperhards: It's like driving on ice but they'll last you fp1 fp2 fp3 q1 q2 q3 the race and 2 seasons
Favorite comment by far
in between there's the ultrahard. like aquaplaning, rather than driving on ice, and only lasts 1 season.
Lasts longer than a Honda engine
Dog In Yard More like the Hypersoft.
Dog In Yard No, the Hypersofts already do that.
Hah! You called it.
Tyres in the 2019 year will be labeled SOFT-MEDIUM-HARD on race weekends, even if the soft is hypersoft, etc.
And we were just getting used to the 7 compounds, which actually kind of made sense in the end.
common sense... Disclaimer: not actually so common
And I want the 2018 method back because the hard tires in Monaco are the same of the soft ones in Spain and that’s confusing...
@@matteo.v1 Does how soft they are matter though? Isn't it more important to know the difference in the compounds used at the same race than between two races?
but you can do like
C5 - Hypersoft
C4 - Ultrasoft
C3 - Supersoft
C2 - Soft
C1- Medium
2020, verysuperhyperridicilouslysoft tyres
Max speed/grip
1 lap life
r/tyresthatgrip
hahahahah
They still last longer than an unused original McLaren-Honda engine though
Are they tyres or pillows at that point?
coming back to this in 2021 and seeing that the tire names are much more simplified
and also that the "super hard " tire was never used once
The year is 2020.
Pirelli have released a new tire compound called Ludicrousoft. It made the cars so fast that the drivers brains went into their feet but it was a fan favourite because of the plaid compound.
Well why didn't you tell us about the pandemic?!!!!
Assuming the tyre can even survive a single lap though. Degradation noticeable before you even take the final turn.
Pirelli: Ludicrous Soft ^-^
Tracks: _starts building new pit line half way down the track_
So, I think Pirelli liked your suggestion of coloring each set in a standard hard medium soft, regardless of which specific compound it is.
I give Crofty five minutes into the 2018 season before he jokes about a pink hypersoft.
It will take Crofty 3 minutes. But being American (with NBC as my TV provider for F1), I am an outside observer of Crofty
If your superhard is orange, see a doctor.
doublestufpenguin Oh my god I’m dying
doublestufpenguin lmao😂😂
Hard was orange back in the days
Your videos are getting me through the winter break :D Keep it up

Your English is great, and this is very informative. Thank you.
I actually really like to see which tire is what compound and stuff, and wouldn't dig at all the generic soft-medium-hard branding.
Same, I think it gives a good point with which to compare between races what's going on.
They could always tell people during downtime of qualifying or during Race/FP which compound the tyres actually are, so the people who want to know, can still find out
Sadly they implemented that into the races now. Fuck.
FOM should employ you, you will be educating many F1 beginners

heiio997 smart thinking, first i tought it was stupid but not anymore
I don't think this would be a problem, since in past there were options and primes even though the compounds were different for races.
Top tier companies rarely would confuse something that bad, you gotta have faith in the co.
7:00 "No idea why Pirelli wouldn´t do that" You sir are informative AND hilarious. I am glad to have found your channel
Thanks for doing a revised video. Your original one two years ago got my head around the new rules and i was quite prepared for the season ahead. Once more i will be prepared with a multitude of compounds to remember. Keep it up.
And now we have _3 compounds_
Yay, so interesting!!!!
The color coded tyres were way easier to understand than people gave them credit...
Great video dude, you are getting me through the winter break.
Your channel is incredibly informative and I can see you going far in the future. Good job!
I can only wish this channel had more videos ....
Great work .... I hope every week you can dive into one aspect of F1 like helmets race barriers ... Front aero .... Brakes ....how teams gained advantages by clever innovations over the decades ...!!!!

Pure genius Hards never used in the 2017 season then they add a harder compound SO SMART
You missed one little thing. Pirelli can also choose 3 compounds for a race which don’t follow up. For example: hypersoft, soft and hard for one race. Rest of your video is awesome, keep up the good work 💪🏻
Wow, Pirelli really did that, what you suggested
DON'T FORGET : I LOVE YOU
Your vids are great
Amazing videos man, simple and without any useless stuff.
Waiting for the next one!
I think you should add 'F1' or Formula One' in the title of your F1 explaining vids so more people would click them. IDK just an opinion.. ;)
Youre absolutely right and I feel a fool for not doing that!
Hehe, thanks for responding and I wish the best of views for you!

I feel this is retreading old ground (Sorry couldn't resist).
Seriously though a very good video.
Puns are ALWAYS welcome here :)
Dude..your videos are amazing...Dont stop.!
That last idea you gave was something I was thinking about for a long time. Take 3 compounds for a race, name them soft, medium and hard. Would make everything so much easier to understand
I think learning 2 new coloured tyres is an easy sacrifice to make in order to have more exciting races.
If it makes for better race strategies then I'm all for it. This is a good period of time to do some nice theory crafting. It will open up lots of discussions.

I like the idea of each compound having its own name and colour, but I have to agree, blue should be reserved for wets.
Daniel Watkins Oh don't get me wrong I've liked it before now but in 2018 there's so many it's just silly
a refresher? it's 2021 - youtubes recommended vids needs a refresher
“If you do accidentally fit a mixed set, you must put within 3 laps to change them”
*glares at Bottas / Williams Circa Hungary 2016*
I like the idea of tires brought to a race being called soft-medium-hard regardless of their absolute softness. In addition to that, though, I'd still like to be able to know how the soft of this weekend compares to the soft of other weekends, so perhaps Pirelli might introduce an arbitrary unit of softness, e.g., the "hypersoft" would be assigned the value of 10 and everything other compound would receive a number that accurately reflects how soft it is by comparison (ultra soft 9, supersoft 8, soft 7, medium 5, hard 3, superhard 2, ...)
- Are the same rules applicable for 2021?

THANKYOU! I never fully knew the new tyre system and this really helped me!
I love that in 1:24, u stopped a bit too think about the *super hard* compound which is a bit weird to see in f1.
I've thought the three (originally two) color only option was the way to go for awhile now. Great to hear another proponent of this idea. Nice video.
I appreciate the possibility of less one-stop races and more strategic diversity. It’s easier to find tires fitting to the race track with more compounds available.

What happened in 2019, nice.
I love how Pirelli brought in the Superhard tyre, and then didn't pick them for any race in 2018 before dropping them again for the next year.
at the beginning of each werekend you could also just have a look at what tires are available and se which ones are the softest, the mediate or the hardest one
bit mad to think that Chain bear basically predicted the compounds selected for the British GP before any of the pre-season tests were done...
I think the reason why they color the tyres in the race in the wide variaty of colors is so people can see on which they drive. otherwise they might drive on a supersoft in the red color. and somebody else is driving the hypersofts. the lap time of the hypersofts will be faster but they can race way less rounds. if you keep they colors like they are give you can make your decision on the color on the enemies tyres.

F1 Tyres 2019 - A New Refresher!
what about the new rule that the three compounds brought ata race no longer have to be consecutive? e.g ultra, soft, medium is legal
He said in the video he might make a video about how tyre compounds are chosen in the future (which i asked, so thanks for that Chain Bear F1)
Nice to see an Italian, vero Giacomo?
Certo
Hey thanks for this! I've only been watching F1 for a few years now and Tyres always had me confused to what the can and can't use.
I think that they should give 4 to 5 options for tire compounds. They should then space the compounds out and remove the rules on minimum number of sets and compounds used during the race
Wait what. Then how long will hypersofts last? 5 laps??
It depends on the track, in monaco probably 15, but ir will be 1sec faster than the US i think
at a long race like spa, 5 laps will be pushing them too far. monaco on the other hand, 10-15 could work. who knows. its all a very exciting mess
Just imagine hypersoft tyres in Suzuka
70+ at Monaco lmao
actually the compound represents how much oil the rubber has, the softer tyres have more oil in their rubber while the hardest ones have less oil
can you do a video on car setup rules and parc ferme (what happens when any of the sessions is wet, what are you allowed to change, what can the driver do himself, what can be done in pitstops...)
Nicely explained and everything summed up pretty good..
So that’s why I can’t just use any tire when I play career mode I thought the game was just bugged or something
Great video by the way it really helped better understand the tire rules
Really informative, subbed instantly. Keep it up!
EDIT: Considering Pirelli has to manufacture these tyres way ahead of the race, I think it´s easier for them to make them the same colour. Unifying them for the each race woul be a complication imho. And for the viewers as well aI think.
Great video ... again. Can you make a video about F1 constructors championships? Why each year teams need to build new cars? Do they have right to use last year cars? What elements and parts of F1 car must be constructed by teams themselves, and what they can buy/rent from other constructors/teams?
I believe that this issue is almost always overlooked by a large part of the F1 community, and yet it is fascinating, this is mainly core of F1.
ZlyCzlowiekZLasu each year the rules change, so they pretty much have to build a new car each year.
Your videos are great, I think having a soft background music would help with the overall feel and pace of the video. Btw I do like all the colours for the tyres, it gives more life to the cars imo
As usual, an excellent video. Personally I'm not bothered by the large number of colors. I'm sure we'll all get used to it soon enough and I think it's nice to be able to compare the performance/use of a given compound across tracks, which I think would be somewhat more difficult if they used the same 3 colors for every race.
hooooly shit, I as impressed with the quality of your video as I'm confused about those tyre-rules.
AAAAAND its still mostly one-stopping all the time. Even with the softer tyres. I would love having races where Medium-Hard and Soft-Soft-Medium (relative) would be almost the same times, but Soft-Medium would be almost impossible (and slow). Would spice up the question if it would be good to do Q2 on the Medium tyre and get the one-stop, but being slower in Q2 as a risk.
Awesome video! I embrace these new compounds as I really think it'll mix up the racing strategy loads, so it'll be interesting to see how it pans out. I do agree with you also on the whole too many colours thing. During the race I don't particularly care if they'll be using the ultrahypermega soft tyre as i'll probably know which compounds they'll be using already. I'd just want to know which sets are the softest/hardest out of what they have with just having soft, medium & hard colours in the race! Thank you for getting me through the winter break! Amazing video dude :D
2022: there will be a tyre that is so soft it desintergrades when the car is put down in pit and a tyre that is made of solid tungsten
Yup probs m8, there are way too many colours, and too many compounds
You forgot to mention that Pirelli can now choose 3 compounds that dosent need to be next to eachother on the softness scale, as in China its Mediums, Softs and Ultra Softs
You predicted the 2021 Tyre sistem (with the soft medium and hard )

@@MaxCL16 yeah my mistake😅😊
Ivana Blazeva no problem 😊
5:55 It will be Q2 tyres in which they have set the fastest lap in Q2
I dont agree about what you said about the colour because I really like knowing what tyres they have it gives an idea of the circuits
If they want more pit stops, they should bring back refuelling
resqwec it's already been discussed in other channels videos why jumping headlong back to refueling could be a really bad idea.
WHY DID YOU GIVE THEM THE IDEA FOR C1,C2,...C5 tyres rather than Hypersoft, Supersoft, etc. It was soo much nicer then
6:55
The FIA: "WRITE THAT DOWN!!!"
Good point I also think it would be easier to follow with just the three tyre colours, but as you say, Pirelli marketing
Can't wait for the "Super hyper mega ultra soft" tyres
You mean "super duper hyper mega fucking insane soft" tyre compound
