Perez believes Pirelli's new F1 rear tyres have got worse this year, but he feels that may be good news for the drivers.
Pirelli has revamped its rubber for 2023 in a bid to make the fronts stronger, which is aimed at dialling out the understeer that became a common factor throughout last season.Max Verstappen"They give less understeer, but that's more because the rear tyres are not as good now as they were last year," he said."The front tyres are just the same."
"I think the rear has just taken a step in a worse direction. But I think at the end of the day, it's good, because I think last year, the tyres were really terrible. "I think both tyres are more together. Probably the rear is still a bit on the strong side but generally it isn't going to push as much the front I feel."Perez has earned a reputation in F1 for being one of the best drivers at managing tyres, but he was rarely able to show off those talents last year thanks to the nature of the 2022 rubber.
"This year, the fact that the rear is also degrading, you're going to be able to manage a bit more the degradation at the front. So, I think Pirelli has gone in the right direction in that regard."
