Pirelli has been under the heat for the last couple of weeks as tyre degradation issues hit most Formula One teams heavily at the recently concluded doubleheader of F1 races at Silverstone. This included the delamination of the tyres leading Mercedes cars of Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas in the first British GP. In the second race which was also Formula One's 70th-anniversary race, Pirelli increased the pressures on the tyres to curtail the tyre degradation issues. Now, Pirelli's head for Formula One Mario Isola has revealed that the FIA is considering a plan to further curtail the level of downforce on the cars next season after it was initially agreed to limit downforce levels on next year's cars because of the lockdowns cased by COVID19. Now, Isola has revealed that downforce levels are further going to be reduced.
