RE: F1 2013
It has been confirmed that a different pirelli tyre will be in use for the German Grand Prix this weekend .

Pirelli will use a tyre that has the rubber mounted on Kevlar rather than Steel , Pirelli advise that Kevlar is more puncture resistant . This will make the tyre's run approx 10c cooler though. Pirelli wanted to run these at the British GP but the weather intervened and there was insufficient use of the tyres to go through the thorough checks needed.

After a three week break the following Grand Prix in Hungary 26-28 July there will a bigger change in tyres with a new range of tyres with the same manufacture as last year (2012) with the 2013 compounds .

Interesting times ahead in the Grand Prix world .

I do think that they want this sorted before they traipse off to the Belgian GP at Spa , a racing circuit with a notoriously fast corner one of the fastest on the GP Circuit at Eau-Rouge , we dont want delaminations or blow outs there .
