Sport In Research and Teamwork
Sport can sometimes seem like a display of extreme individualism. In actual fact, it is anything but, for behind every victory there is a dedicated team working together to achieve success. This is especially true in Formula 1 and other motorsport championships where Pirelli acts as a technical partner. From the development of tyres, which require meticulous technical and experimental studies, to the continuous interaction between technicians, engineers, and racing teams, teamwork is essential. Both before and after a race, this dialogue ensures the tyres are used optimally, maximising their performance. The students will be accompanied through the rooms of the Pirelli Foundation, where they will find stories of challenges and victories that have been made possible by Pirelli since the early twentieth century. A visit to the company’s Research & Development laboratories in Milano Bicocca will give them a unique opportunity to witness key stages in tyre design, from the creation of virtual models to the testing of physical prototypes. This complex process ensures the development of tyres that are safer, more high-performing, and increasingly sustainable for roads and tracks across the world.
The session will take place in person at the Pirelli Foundation and is for one class of adult students (18+).
