Pirelli planning big changes for 2020 tyres

Pirelli motorsport boss Mario Isola has responded to criticism over the Italian manufacturer's tyre construction for the 2019 season.

The majority of teams have struggled so far this season to operate the tyres effectively, particularly getting the tyres to stay in the optimum operating window.

After complaints from team bosses and fans alike, Isola addressed concerns and said the manufacturer was exploring options at improving the tyres for next season and beyond.

"Obviously I take any comments coming from the teams on board," he told Auto Bild.

Red Bull motorsport advisor Dr Helmut Marko has been very vocal in his criticism of the Pirelli compounds, saying that they are "tailor-made for Mercedes".
