Pirelli, a P Zero R tailored to the new safety car of Formula 1

Pirelli has developed a custom P Zero R tire specifically for the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 PRO 4MATIC+, which has been selected as the official Safety Car for Formula One. The tire features a bi-mescola tread pattern and was designed using virtual simulations, calibrated to match the geometry and camber of the Mercedes vehicle. It aims to provide optimal performance across dry, wet, and changing road conditions. Testing took place at the Nürburgring and Nardò facilities, involving pilot Bernd Mayländer. This marks the first time a P Zero R tire has been tailored for a Mercedes-AMG model, continuing a collaboration that includes over 150 'fitments' and previously involved the GT Black Series used as Safety Car from 2022 to 2026.
