F1 introduced emergency safety measures on Saturday in Qatar after 📖Pirelli expressed concerns about the “separation in the sidewall between the topping compound and the carcass cords”.

As a result, track limits were altered at Turn 12 and 13, with the implementation of an addit𝐆ional 10-minut🌃e practice session ahead of the shootout.

Further measures were 🍬put into place for Sunday’s race, with all drivers only allowed to run on one set of tyres for a maximum of 18 laps, forcing the whole grid to make at least three pit stops.

Speaking on Sky Sports F1 on Sunday, Rosberg revealed that F1 ignored Pirelli’s concerns when they were raised earlier in t🙈he yea❀r.

“I actually heard that Pirelli did warn the sport six months ago,” Rosberg said. “They 🦄could see an issue. The sport didn’t listen. That was my latest information, actually.”

The FIA’s caution was unsurprising given 🅘that a number of drivers suffered from punctures in the inaugural event back in 2021.

Naomi Schiff 𝔉explained why teams were 🌄“frustrated” by the situation.

“That’s one of the things ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚthat ไeveryone is so frustrated about,” she said. “This issue existed back in 2021, we saw people having tyre failures. 

“The drivers and teams are frusꦇtrated that it wasn’t sorted out. It’s tough, out there a lot of things have changed since 2021 - the cars, the regulations, the tyre surfaces, the weight, the tyres themselves. I wonder if Pirelli overestimated the capability of the tyres now as ꦜopposed to what they were in 2021. 

“Unfortunately this🐼 weekend the regulations had to change, more than half way through the weekend, pretty much the regulations change each day. That’s frustrating especially when some of them suffered the consequence that these weren’t the rules on Friday wಞhen they used up some sets of tyres. It was almost a case of luck which tyres you did have available today.”
