First thoughts on the New F1 changes and broadcast.

That's not accurate - this is only for used tires. They are recycled, at least.
According to a 2025 Jalopnik article "

Pirelli actually collects all the tires from the race weekend, regardless of whether they're used or not."

"When Pirelli's professionals are done with them, those F1 tires are then shipped to England, where they're shredded and converted to small rubber pellets. The pellets are ultimately burned under extreme heat as tire-derived fuel to power concrete factories."

I read that Hamilton wanted a few F1 tires "for decoration" in one of his homes, and he was told no. Not one tire, used or new, is allowed to leave the confines of the track. Every one of them is under direct control of Pirelli at all times.

They can demand tires off any car, of any team, at any time, and the teams have to conform to their wishes.... No questions asked.

Article I read said the opposite - unused tires are not destroyed. Why would they ? They're the same tires they use for the season.

Lots of contradiction.... 🤷‍♂️

Used tires go to incinerators in unmarked trucks, accompanied by security guards.
