Nice graphic, I do wonder how they measure some of these things or if they’re just semi-made-up stats? I feel Traction, Grip and Abrasion go hand in hand?

Pirelli’s website says they’ve done 10,000 hours of testing, 5,000 hours of simulation, and 20,000 kilometers of testing by the teams

so likely a formula (heh) based on all those points, plus laser scans of the track to measure surface abrasiveness, etc
