The main Circus teams have generalized the use of Polysil also to the front wheels, while last year the use of black silicon nanotechnology was particularly aimed at the rear wheels.

In the photograph by Getty Images you can see it during the pit stop on lap 28 of Daniel Ricciardo that Milton Keynes team mechanics mount Pirelli Hard compound tires on OZ Racing rims that show the black band both front and back.

Nell’front there is only a band of Polysil produced by the Sassuolo Nanoprom, while in the rear you can also see it the classic screening which was first introduced last year by Mercedes for increase the turbulent regime in the circle and favor the thermal transmittance in order to favor a more rapid heating of the tires.
