A short YouTube clip by Adam Markel explaining that in Formula 1 races (example: a 70-lap race) drivers travel at over 200 mph and are required to change all four tires at least once per race because worn/bald tires are dangerous—reducing traction and risking harm to drivers and others.

Chapters

What the F1 shares that is valuable to me about this is that, you know, these drivers are in a 70 lap race. They're going 200 plus miles an hour. You know, there's very little margin for error. And they are required in every single race to change their tires at least one time. All four tires, by the way. They're all required to do that. Why is that? Why do you think? Because they'll wear them out. And what happens if they drive on worn or bald tires? What can happen? We get it. They're dangerous to themselves and they're dangerous to everybody else in the traction.
