F1 tyres sometimes go bang in spectacular fashion.
They can be fine for 50 laps, then explode with no warning, all while the driver is doing 180 miles per hour into a corner.
But why? What is really happening when a tyre gives up?
Today we’re going to look into some of the most INSANE tyre explosions and how F1 cars manage to literally RIP THEIR TYRES APART.
If you’re a long-time F1 fan, you’ll know that the tyres break pretty frequently.
This can happen in a number of interesting ways and we’re going to go over that. But first, to understand why they go bang, let me explain how they’re put together.
A Formula 1 tyre is made up of a mixture of synthetic and natural rubbers, combined with other materials like Carbon Black that are layered and then cured in a mould under extreme heat and pressure.
This intense heat and pressure produces a reaction between the materials that combines their short chains of molecules into longer ones, creating the tyre compound.
These longer chains give the tyre the elasticity to cope, [most of the time] with the extreme loads of F1.
This compound is supported by a mixture of kevlar, nylon and polyester that makes up the sidewall, the carcass and the tread around the outside of the tyre.
This helps the tyre withstand incredible loading under acceleration, braking and turning.
And finally, the tyre is not filled with air, they are actually inflated with dry nitrogen gas. This is because when air gets warm, it changes its volume more than nitrogen, meaning tyre pressures also change.
Using nitrogen means the tyre pressures are much more consistent.

My friend was Nigel’s babysitter in 1986. She was with his kids at home staying up late watching their daddy race in Adelaide. Within seconds of the crash Nigel had borrowed a mobile phone from someone by the track and called them to say he was fine. Then he talked to his pit crew.

I remember Lewis Hamilton had a spectacular tyre failure in Turkey 2007. Bridgestone, the lone tyre supplier at the time, reported that drivers (Hamilton in particular) suffered from chunking. The chunking was caused by the combination of his driving style, the more aggressive tyre usage of his McLaren at the time and the stresses the tyres experience through turn 8. Over time, these caused the rubber compound to separate from the belt of the tyre, hence the chunking. This undermined the ability of the tyre to hold air in it, and in Hamilton's case, it failed under braking for turn 9. As Istanbul Park is an anticlockwise layout, this meant that the right front tyre was most exposed to this problem and the tyre failure, coupled with the failed tyre flapping around, it led to damage to Hamilton's front wing and he struggled to turn into the pit lane entry. The team changed his tyres but didn't change his damaged front wing. In the end, he finished 5th

The most memorable tyre failure occurred when Scott's father, Sir Nigel, was leading the last race of the 1986 AD season in Adelaide and was about to win his first WDC when the his left rear exploded, thereby handing the championship to either Prost or Piquet. His teammate, Piquet, could have won the race and championship but the team decided to bring him in for new tyres. Since Prost had already suffered an earlier puncture, he was on fresher tyres, handing the race and championship to Prost. But 6 years later, the Lion of England, would finally get a deserved World title in the 1992 AD Williams FW14B. But the 1986 AD Williams FW11 is one of my favourite F1 cars and livery. The mid-80's is the golden age of F1.

sorry mate but silverstone 2013 Pirelli has revealed four factors behind the failures: mounting rear tyres the wrong way round, with tyres intended for the right rear of the car put on the left; adoption by the teams of too-low pressures; extreme camber settings; and aggressive kerbing at Silverstone.

Tires go thru weird dynamics, the part of tire that is behind axle center line has to speed up to go past center & then slow down to go behind centerline, it is way different than a fan spinning in a circle.

It’s just so crazy that with all of the parts we use in cars,and different materials,that the most important part is made of rubber and is the contact to the road,which can be very rough and tough,the crazy part comes in because tires simply work (tires as we know them now anyways)!!And this video amplifies how amazing tires are and how we trust tires to do what we need them to do in the applications that we use them for!!

@Robert-cu9bm Год назад

What wasn't explained in this video is there are 3 forces acting on the tyre. Downforce: squishing the tyre Side force: pushing the tyre of the rim. Rotating for: rotating the tyre around the rim When you break and accelerate the force is transferred through the inner diameter of the tyre, whilst the outer diameter is trying to stay put. This is putting rotational torque through the sidewall. Top fuel dragster are a good example of this. The other mention is as I don't think FEW are running bead locks. The only thing attaching the tyre to the rim is friction. The air pressure is keeping that friction high, if you lower the tyre pressure there becomes a point where the one or all of the 3 forces are more than the frictional force of the rubber to the rim wall and then the tyre will fail. Bead locks prevent this, that's why extreme off road vehicles run them, as it's a clamping force and not a frictional force. So can run no pressure and the tyre will stay on.

Topic: How much does a driver get to test out the car? I only got into F1 a year ago, and I don't understand if the drivers can test out their cars as much as they want outside Fp1-3. PreSeason testing, is this the first time a driver can get into the car and take it around the block? Do 3rd drivers etc test out upgrades on the cars at the factory, or is all this done in the windtunnel. I'd love to find out.

At 1:20, either what you're saying, or what you're showing is incorrect - The dispersion rate is the rate at which nitrogen and oxygen will 'leak' out of the tyre (hence why you need to periodically fill up your car's tyres)

@Guardian_Arias Год назад

Curious how the manufacturer of the tire blamed a phantom problem. A manufacturer that just so happens to supply the tires for the industry where a mysterious failure occurred. Kinda sounds to me like the Inverse Kramer Law should apply. I'm guessing either the tire had a defect that could have potentially been present in the entire batch or something failed, but not all the way, only just enough to create heat but no sparks yet slowly heat up a rim somehow enough to soften the bead of the tire to the point where the tire failed but again somehow without something else overtly failing like decrease braking power, partially locked wheel, not weird at all.

4:13 its 27,000hp (20,133kW). Also with brake bias at about 58%, and the front loading of the car, the front tyres are probably doing about 70% of the overall breaking. Or about 9500HP per tyre. kW is a better measurement though. . The total braking of 20MW would power about 30,000 - 40,000 homes for that short period of time (~2s). (an average of 415W - 666W over the 24 hours assuming comfortable temps)

I have always said that tires are the most important part of a car (and brakes of course). People dont pay much attention to tires, but a ton of engineering research and development has been done to take drivers from A to B fast and safely. The tire engineering for F1 cars is even more impressive, since these tires take an insane amount of abuse during a race. Well done Pirelli F1 tire engineers!

@Robert-cu9bm Год назад

There's an old tyre advert, I think it was Bridgestone and I remember it in Australia. Their whole advert was how there is only 4 hand prints (the contract patch size) keeping you and your family safe. And from memory the ad shows the car stopping just in time as to not Knock over a child. Emphasizing you need good rubber to stop. However everyone sees them as black and round so they're all the same. It's the compounds that matter.

Raikkonen had the option to come in for a tyre change in 2005, he opted to stay out as he was on for a win. It was in the regs for safety reasons, although Mclaren might have had to risk a penalty if the FIA deemed it wasn't justified, but I think the subsequent events showed it would have been justified on safety grounds.
