Pirelli has announced a range of measures designed to ensure drivers' lives are not put at risk in the wake of Sunday's British Grand Prix debacle.

The Silverstone race was overshadowed by several high-speed blowouts, forcing the Italian tyre manufacturer to act swiftly to guarantee the safety of not just the drivers, but also fans and marshals.

For this weekend's German Grand Prix at the Nurburgring, Pirelli is to use a belt made of Kevlar - a high-strength synthetic fibre which is more resistant to punctures - instead of steel on its rear tyres.

Later this month, from the Hungarian Grand Prix onwards, Pirelli is to use a tyre that fuses the structure, construction and belt from last year with the current compounds from this season.

Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery said: "What happened at Silverstone was completely unexpected and it was the first time that anything like this has ever occurred in more than a century of Pirelli in motorsport."

Sanity broke out in Formula One with the immediate sanction of two three-day tests to cure the tyre crisis that has blighted the season. But the shift in attitude has come too late to have any impact on Sunday’s German Grand Prix.

The sport has acted to repeal the ban on testing that has hampered progress all year. The commercial rights holder, Bernie Ecclestone, met with the FIA president, Jean Todt, after Sunday’s race to thrash out a way forward.

“They [Pirelli] have complained in the past when these tyres have delaminated. They’ve said they’d like to sort it out, but they don’t have a chance to do any testing because of these silly restrictions we have. But I spoke to Jean Todt over the weekend and he has said ‘let them test’. So he has allowed them to run two three-day tests to try to do something for next year, as well as this year, so that’s exactly what’s going to happen,” Ecclestone said, adding that, “they can use what they like [cars]. No restrictions. None at all.”

So, yeah nothing has changed.

Pirelli's new tyres for 2014


This is a bit of a cheap shot at Pirelli but i was watching the South Park movie from the late 90s yesterday and seeing all the cars in Canada having square wheels made me think of Pirelli for some reason

You should see how much money they save on speed bumps, or "sleeping policemen" like I hear they're called elsewhere.

Yes sleeping policemen!! Pains in the arse!! Some people slow down to like stupid slow speeds, and I'm up their bum! I actually think it's better to hit them fast, you sort of fly over them then.

I just talk nice to my car. It doesn't like going slow over bumps. It's smoother if it goes fast.

Yes, I think it's somewhere in there. But I'm sure I replied to this thread....with the picture, and it disappeared! Maybe I pressed preview instead of submit, finger trouble again
