Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag has had discussion with Michelin over making a set of tires last a whole season rather than a whole race.

Currently in Formula E teams have a set of tires for each car that has to last a whole race weekend, but Alejandro Agag wants to go a step further by introducing a set of tires that last a whole season for the second season of the Formula E championship.

“I want tires that will last a whole season, so not the whole race. I want tires to go the whole year with the same tire because this means that we will not waste rubber, less energy will be used making extra tires for each event and therefore lee energy will be used to make them,” said Agag

Alejandro Agag wants to make sure that the championship is as sustainably as possible and that companies like Michelin have come into Formula E to learn new ways to develop more sustainable tires for the future of electric cars and combustion cars.

“Michelin have come into the sport in the hope of making more fuel efficient tires, or electricity efficient tires which had less rolling resistance and the most durable tires. So basically green tires and we are the perfect championship to showcase those green tires,” said Agag.

It will be interesting to see how these tires will be developed by Michelin and the major question that most people will be asking is that the performance of the tires must drop off before the end of the season, which could mean that some drivers will be a greater disadvantage going into every event at the back end of the season.
