Hankook remains exclusive tyre partner for W Series

This year, Hankook is once again the official tyre partner for the W Series. The cooperation is heading into its third season.

This means that the world’s only all-female single-seater series will continue to race with the high-end Ventus Race tyre at eight Formula 1 weekends in 2022.

Hankook says that the renewed involvement for this season sees them as a premium tyre partner remain true to its philosophy of providing targeted support to motor racing drivers. This applies in particular to female drivers, for whom W Series represents an opportunity to gather experience in a professional environment at some historic circuits.

In recent years, the Hankook race tyre has proved to be a strong and reliable partner in a wide range of conditions, and its consistency and predictability has made it a key factor in the drivers’ development process.

This year will see W Series racing on the Formula 1 support card for the second time, having already done so in 2021. The schedule features eight venues, five of which will be new circuits for the formula series; this list includes Miami, Japan and Mexico.
