Tyre failures at Azerbaijan GP caused by running conditions, Pirelli says

Pirelli says the two high-speed tyre failures at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix were caused by the way in which they were being run.

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen lost the race victory and Lance Stroll’s Aston Martin crashed out of fourth when their left rear tyres failed at close to 200mph.

Pirelli said an investigation found the tyres suffered “a circumferential break on the inner sidewall”.
