Description
This Pirelli racing tires wall art is a close crop of a stack of slicks, red compound stripes running around the sidewalls and the branding repeated down the pile until it goes out of focus.
A racing tyre is the only part of the car that touches the road, and in modern Formula 1 the compound a team fits is a strategic declaration made in public. The coloured band is how a spectator reads that declaration from a grandstand, which is why the colours are as carefully chosen as any part of the livery.
Pirelli racing tires wall art as graphic design
Strip the context away and this is a repeating pattern with one saturated accent, which is why it hangs where a picture of a car would look out of place. Kitchens, studios and offices take it. It is also the natural third frame in a group, because it supplies texture where the other two supply subject.
Why the stripes are coloured at all
Colour coding gives broadcasters, teams and spectators a single glance answer to which compound is on which car, and the scheme has been revised repeatedly as the compound range has changed. Pirelli has supplied the championship as sole tyre manufacturer since 2011.
