Pirelli has completed its investigation into Sebastian Vettel's tyre failure at the Belgian Grand Prix and will present its conclusions and analysis at the Italian Grand Prix this weekend.
Vettel's right rear tyre exploded on the penultimate lap at Spa-Francorchamps as Ferrari attempted to snatch third place with a one-stop strategy. Pirelli put the failure down to wear, with the tyre letting go on its 28th lap of the demanding seven kilometre circuit, but Vettel labelled the incident "unacceptable" after a similar, but unrelated, tyre failure on Nico Rosberg's Mercedes earlier in the weekend.
"We have finalised the investigation into Sebastian Vettel's tyre at Spa," Pirelli's director of motorsport Paul Hembery said. "Detailed conclusions from the technical analysis will be presented at Monza".
Pirelli will use the same compound choices - medium and soft - at Monza and believes its choice will promote exciting racing at the Italian Grand Prix.
"We have the medium and soft compounds, a step softer than our nomination last year, which should be well suited to Monza and the emphasis on speed that this circuit always places," Hembery added. "We're expecting a fair degree of wear and degradation, so as always the work done during free practice will be very important when it comes to calculating the optimal strategy.
"With the two compounds potentially quite closely matched in terms of pace, this opens up a few options. The cars run low downforce at Monza and that actually increases the work for the tyres considerably under acceleration and braking, because with less force pushing down on top of the car, it's the tyres that are providing all the mechanical grip. Allied to the kerbs at Monza, this provides our tyres with a wide-ranging all-round challenge, requiring consistent durability and performance."
