Lotus vyjel s 18palcovými pneumatikami

18palcové pneumatiky jsou pouze experimentem. S jejich nasazením se alespoň prozatím nepočítá. Pokud by k němu došlo, pak zřejmě až nejdříve od sezóny 2017.

18palcové pneumatiky by přinesly velkou změnu v oblasti aerodynamiky. Větší pneumatiky ale mají mít mnoho také mnoho výhod: vypadají moderněji, rychleji se zahřejí apod.

La llanta es más ancha q el neumático. Si hay un toque entre dos coches la llanta seria la primera en sufrirlo.#f1tv3 pic.twitter.com/HMbT9vyW64
