Pirelli boss Paul Hembery: 'No repeat of Silverstone tyre blowouts'

Formula 1 tyre supplier Pirelli are confident that this weekend's German Grand Prix will not see a repeat of the tyre failures experienced at Silverstone.

The manufacturer came under fire after four cars suffered punctures and blowouts, including British driver Lewis Hamilton while he was leading the race.

However, Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery told Sky Sports News that those problems will be a thing of the past, with new tyres introduced at the Nurburgring and reverting to last year's rubber for Hungary and Belgium in coming weeks.
