During a Grand Prix event, Formula 1 cars go through multiple sets of tires. These used tires do not just get discarded without thought. After their initial use, the tires are collected and often sent for recycling, where they are either repurposed for other uses or broken down into raw materials.

In the recycling process, used tires can become playground surfaces, roadways, or even new tires. This ensures that the environmental impact of tire waste is minimized. The meticulous handling and recycling of used tires from Formula 1 events reflect the sport's commitment to sustainability.

By understanding what happens to used tires after a GP, fans can appreciate the unseen yet crucial aspect of tire management. The journey of each tire from racetrack to recycling highlights the blend of sport and sustainability at the core of Formula 1.
