Pirelli has released some renderings of what 18-inch wheel rims would look like on a Formula 1 car ahead of their debut tomorrow.
The tyre supplier will run the lower-profile tyres on a Lotus E22 tomorrow during the second day of the Silverstone in-season test.
It’s hoped it will convince the sport’s bosses to agree to a change in 2017, but Pirelli’s Paul Hembery is hoping they will agree to an ever larger tyre in the future.
“We said many years ago that the larger diameter rims were something we would always go along with,” he said.
