Mario Isola is one of the most recognized faces of Formula 1. He is not one of the 20 pilots or one of the ten team leaders. But his work is as important as theirs: is the head of Pirellithat in Icola premiered the compound C6the softest of the tires so far of the season. For the Argentine public, his presence was carabala in the previous one of each race, when Juan Fossaroli y Albert Fábrega They consult you in the ESPN transmission what is the strategy as to stops and tires to choose from. “I will learn to speak Spanish to at least communicate with them in the interviews.”he says in Italian and with a wide smile in the Motorhome of the Italian rubber manufacturer in the Enzo E Dino Ferrari autodrome.
The talk with Clarion It occurs after the invitation to a breakfast with Italian journalists, in which Isola says that The red rubber used in Emilia Romagna’s grand prize did not give the pilots the desired securityso much that in the classification several chose to go to the Q3 with the yellow compound – which until last year was the softest – or even use a C6 but used because they preferred the stability to the loss of a little grip. As the loss is tenths, the fine analysis came with post GP telemetry.

While as he coincides, “The part of the strategy is surely the most fun, especially with Juan (Fossaroli) and Albert (Fabrega)”his work is much deeper than what is seen in that time of TV or what he can imagine while traveling the paddock. Who made Karting for a decade and is an ambulance and paramedic conductor as a volunteer since he was 18, although now he only keeps him in his few free times in Milan, anticipates that there are multiple tasks and that it will be difficult to tell them all.
“Clearly, we must previously prepare the races and be here, giving assistance: We are a team of 50, 60 people in the autodrome. And then you have to disassemble everything, analyze the wheels and take them home, where research and development engineers seek to understand how they worked and then develop new products. So there is so much work, especially behind the scene, that it is not known“, lists.
But what happens at the headquarters of Pirelli, in Milan? “At work we have what is called Target Letter,” says this 56 -year -old Italian, and deepens: “It is a document that we agree with the FIA, Formula 1 and all the equipment that says what are the benefits of the product of the successive year, the benefits that are expected of the product for the successive year.”
“Therefore, on the basis of this target we define a development program, a test program together with the team of which we approve the rubbers, normally, at the end of the preceding year, because that will be the product of the following year,” he highlights on the compounds in which “different rubber mixtures” are “different mixtures.”
That work that is done in the factory while the F1 season is in Pause, however, it does not end at that time when the different compounds that will be put on the track are chosen later. “During the year, this work continues. So we have to make sure our product is used correctly, that there are no integrity problemsthat the mixtures work as we want, because if necessary for the following year we can change them a bit, “explains who started Pirelli 29 years ago as Junior Driver test and went through several positions until he assumes in the main role of Motorsport director since 2021.
What is the goal that Pirelli pursues when it modifies rubber mixtures, how did you look for with the C6? “It always is done with the idea of having good careers: With so much action, with so many overtaking, with possibly a mix of strategies of one or two stops so that there is a lot of movement on the track. And above all to analyze which are also the best pilots in the management and treatment of the tire, “he concludes on a job that never for Pirelli became an exclusive provider of the F1 in 2011.
