Formula 1 will continue to use Pirelli’s 2019 tyres for 🍰the 2020 season after plans to run its new development compounds were shelved following a team vote.

A brief statement by the FIA on Wednesday confirmed all 10 teams had voted unanimously to keep the 2019 t♏yres, rather than switch to the 2020-specification Pirelli had been dev🍸eloping throughout the year.

The 2020 prototype spec had been designed to reduce degra♍dation and provide a wider w🌄orking range of temperature and lower overheating while running in the dirty air produced by the car ahead.

But Pirelli’s new tyres had faced mixed reviews followi🍸ng an initial test outing during opening practice for the United States Grand Prix at the Circuit of the Americas in November, before a two-day test was conducted at Yas Marina following the 2019 season finale in Abu Dh🏅abi.

The Italian tyre m🎐anufacturer had hoped the Abu Dhabi test would offer teams a “more representative” outlook on the tyres, however many drivers remained un🅘impressed.

“The FIA would like to thank both Pirelli and all the teams for tಞheir work and collaboration tꦯo improve the tyres for the 2020 season and beyond,” an FIA statement read.

“In any case, the lessons learnt will be invaluable for🍃 the further improvement of the tyres in the𓂃 future.”
