F1 cars can literally boil the rubber in their tyres.

It’s called blistering, and what is interesting is that it tells a much bigger story about the pressures Pirelli are under to create tyres that aren’t as good as they could be.

Despite the extensive research and development, the tyres are the only component of an F1 car, that isn’t at the limit of what is physically possible.

So we’re going to break down the incredible engineering that goes into these tyres, and how going a bit too fast for 5 laps, can completely destroy them.

To understand this, we need to look at the first step in this story - how the tyre is constructed, which is incredibly interesting.
