F1 teams use Nitrogen to fill the tires because of its low dilatation compared to air, a small dilatation in a F1 tire will result in unbalancing the car.
nitrogen
suspension.
Some are directional like the eagle F1, however most are not directional.
F1 tyres are filled with Nitrogen since it is a more stable gas than air
Soft tires are better because they are smooth on the track which gives them more speed.
Different tyres have different surfaces that depending on the ground either increase or decrease friction. Selection of proper F1 tyres play a significant role because the cars travel at a great speed. Here are the different types of F1 racing tires Dry Weather Tyres Hard compound Soft compound Super-soft compound Wet Weather Tires Intermediate Wet tyres Extreme wet Tires Different tires are used according to the track surface they are racing on.
Pirelli will supply the tyres to all teams throughout the 2011 F1 Season, replacing Bridgestone from the 2010 Season.
Downforce is provided to F1 racing vehicles with the obvious wings, and the less obvious shape of its underside. The additional tons of downforce are used to increase the traction of the tires, for both acceleration/braking and for turns, 'sticking' to the road.
