F1 Tire pressure mapping

Formula 1 teams live and die by tiny margins in tyre performance, and pressure mapping gives them visibility into exactly how a tyre's contact patch behaves under real racing loads, something a single-point pressure gauge simply can't show. XSensor's pressure mapping systems, supplied through Interface Force Measurements, are used by tyre manufacturers, vehicle manufacturers and motorsport teams worldwide to capture detailed footprint data across the full contact area rather than an averaged reading. For F1 engineers, that level of pressure distribution detail feeds directly into set-up decisions, tyre construction feedback and race strategy, turning what used to be an educated guess about tyre behaviour into a measured, repeatable data set.
