A 6th Pirelli smooth tire compound will be added to the reach for the 2023 Formula 1 season, with the C0 joining the natural C1-5.
However, not the C0 itself is the enhanced one, for the 2022 mission's C1 has basically gone through a difference in name. All things being equal, a fresh out of the plastic new C1 that is being acquainted with span a presentation hole between the mixtures at the harder finish of the range.
Mario Isola, Pirelli's head of motorsport, gave a clarification to media including PlanetF1 following the post-season tire test at the Yas Marina setting in Abu Dhabi.
"We have presented another C1 compound and have chosen to homologate for the following year six mixtures, not five," said Isola.
"The ongoing C1 that functioned admirably at, for instance, Zandvoort and Silverstone, we would have rather not wiped out.
"We chose to present another C1 with more grasp contrasted with the old C1, so the old C1 is currently the C0 to try not to rename all the others.
"We have the new C1 and afterward the C2, C3, C4 and C5 are equivalent to this year.
"The new C1 is a lot nearer to the C2. I would agree that the main objective we didn't accomplish was another C3 more in the middle somewhere in the range of C2 and C4."
Isola felt the 2022 C1 had by and large been too delayed in a season when he said there had been a 30% increment in surpassing during races, albeit that was in no way, shape or form all down to the tires with the new age of ground-impact vehicles having been presented.
Asked via PlanetF1 whether the additional compound gave more prominent extension to have ventures between the three picked for a race end of the week, Isola said that could be viewed as however not for the early races of the 2023 mission.
"At times we can have a stage between the mixtures we need to choose yet not dependably," said Isola. "It's a choice we have in our pocket that we keep.
"I accept we have a thought of what we need to apportion for next season. We need to keep the adaptability to change, or to calibrate, this distribution as per the aftereffect of the pre-season test in Bahrain and the main races.
"We will characterize soon the mixtures for the initial three or four races, clearly on the grounds that we want to fabricate and ocean cargo the tires. However at that point we need to keep a touch of adaptability to choose for the second piece of the title.
"However, it doesn't mean you will have a few in the middle between."
Of the post-season tire test on Tuesday November 22, he called attention to the 24 drivers in real life had finished 2,458 laps.
"That is a great deal of information to examine, very nearly 13,000 kilometers," said Isola. "I accept it is a normal of two races for every driver, so that is a great deal of telemetry information we will get in the following couple of days."
