In this episode, we discuss the basics of Formula 1 tyres and give a recap of the 2021 Monaco Grand Prix. Formula 1 tyres may not be the most riveting topic, but learning about the tyres and how they are used to maximize speed in each grand prix is a huge part of understanding and enjoying this sport. You might have heard the commentators mention soft tyres or hard tyres, but do you know the strategy behind each choice? We discuss the rules behind tyre usage in each Formula 1 grand prix, how they play into each team's strategy, the differences between the tyre compounds in Formula 1, and a bit of Formula 1 tyre history.
In the second half of the episode we give a recap of the Monaco Grand Prix and all the action from that weekend (or lackthereof).
