"We take softer tyres with us even though we expect higher speeds"

The Grand Prix of Belgium is coming up. The seventh round of the 2020 championship will be held at Spa Francorchamps. For this race Pirelli has chosen a soft tyre menu. Mario Isola looks ahead to the race and explains the choice of rubber.

In a Pirelli press statement, the Italian says: "Spa's reputation speaks for itself. It is a traditional job with a lot of height difference and other variables. That's why the drivers often love it here".

Isola continues: "Spa is one of the few races this year to be held on the same date as normal. The teams will therefore already have many relevant data, even though Spa is one of the most difficult tracks to predict. Drivers and teams who can adapt well will be able to get the most out of it this weekend".
